Praise for the First Edition ...will certainly fascinate anyone interested in abstract algebra: a remarkable book! Monatshefte fur Mathematik Galois 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 s theory of Abelian equations, casus irreducibili, and the Galois theory of origami. In addition, this book features detailed treatments of several ... Read more

Reviews for Galois Theory
There is barely a better introduction to the subject, in all its theoretical and practical aspects, than the book under review. (Zentralblatt MATH, 1 December 2012) the great merit of this book (one of many expositions of the subject) is that everything is taken at a slow pace, with many examples to illustrate every idea. You get the (probably ... Read more
