Galois Theory
by Miles Reid
Publisher: University of Warwick 2004
Number of pages: 89
Description:
The course will discuss the problem of solutions of polynomial equations both in explicit terms and in terms of abstract algebraic structures. The course demonstrates the tools of abstract algebra (linear algebra, group theory, rings and ideals) as applied to a meaningful problem.
