Praise for the First Edition". . .will certainly fascinate anyone interested in abstract algebra: a remarkable book!" & mdash;Monatshefte fur MathematikGalois theory is one of the most established topics in mathematics, with historical roots that led to the development of many central concepts in modern algebra, including groups and fields. Covering classic applications of the theory, such as solvability by radicals, geometric constructions, and finite fields, Galois Theory, Second Edition delves into novel topics like Abel & rsquo;s theory of Abelian equations, casus irreducibili, and the Galois.
