Galois Theory (Chapman and Hall mathematics series)
By Ian Stewart.
Description
Galois theory is a showpiece of mathematical unification, bringing together several different branches of the subject and creating a power ful machine for the study of problems of considerable historical and mathematical importance. This book is an attempt to present the theory in such a light, and in a manner suitable for second- and third-year undergraduates. The central theme is the application of the Galois group to the quintic equation. As well as the traditional approach by way of the 'general' polynomial equation I have included a direct approach which demon strat...
