Galois Theory and Its Algebraic Background
«'Garling's book presents Galois theory in a style which is at once readable and compact. The necessary prerequisites are developed in the early chapters only to the extent that they are needed later. The proofs of the lemmas and main theorems are presented in as concrete a manner as possible, without unnecessary abstraction. Yet they seem remarkably short, without the difficulties being glossed over. In fact the approach throughout the book is down-to-earth and concrete … I can heartily recommend this book as an undergraduate text.' Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society»
Galois Theory, the theory of polynomial equations and their solutions, is one of the most fascinating and beautiful subjects of pure mathematics. Using group theory and field theory, it provides a complete answer to the problem of the solubility of polynomial equations by radicals: that is, determining when and how a polynomial equation can be solved by repeatedly extracting roots using elementary algebraic operations.
