Galois theory is one of the jewels of mathematics. Its intrinsic
beauty, dramatic history, and deep connections to other areas of
mathematics give Galois theory an unequaled richness. This
undergraduate text develops the basic results of Galois theory, with
Historical Notes to explain how the concepts evolved and Mathematical
Notes to highlight the many ideas encountered in the study of this
marvelous subject.
The book covers classic applications of Galois theory, such as
solvability by radicals, geometric constructions, and finite fields. The
book also explains how Maple can be used
in computations related to Galois theory.
