Book cover: Galois Groups and Fundamental GroupsGalois Groups and Fundamental Groups
by - San Francisco State University
This course brings together two areas of mathematics that each concern symmetry -- symmetry in algebra, in the case of Galois theory; and symmetry in geometry, in the case of fundamental groups. Prerequisites are courses in algebra and analysis.
