This text offers an exposition of Galois theory with exercises and complete proofs. Topics include Cardano's formulas, the fundamental theorem, Galois' great theorem (solvability for radicals of a polynomial is equivalent to solvability of its Galois group), and computation of Galois groups of cubics and quartics. There are appendices on group theory and ruler-compass constructions. Developed on the basis of a graduate algebra course, following a course on group theory, this book will provide a concise introduction to ...

This text offers an exposition of Galois theory with exercises and complete proofs. Topics include Cardano's formulas, the fundamental theorem, Galois' great theorem (solvability for radicals of a polynomial is equivalent to solvability of its Galois group), and computation of Galois groups of cubics and quartics. There are appendices on group theory and ruler-compass constructions. Developed on the basis of a graduate algebra course, following a course on group theory, this book will provide a concise introduction to Galois theory suitable for graduate students, either as a text for a course or for study outside the classroom.
