About the Book

Galois Theory is the algebraic study of groups that can be associated with polynomial equations. This book covers the basic material of Galois theory and discusses many related topics, such as Abelian equations, solvable equations of prime degree, and the casus irreducibilis, that are not mentioned in most standard treatments. It also describes the rich history of Galois theory, including the work of Lagrange, Gauss, Abel, Galois, Jordan, and Kronecker.

About the Author :
DAVID A. COX is a professor of mathematics at Amherst College. He pursued his undergraduate studies at Rice University and earned his PhD from Princeton in 1975. The main focus of his research is algebraic geometry, though he also has interests in number theory and the history of mathematics. He is the author of Primes of the Form x2 + ny2, published by Wiley, as well as books on computational algebraic geometry and mirror symmetry.

Review :
"This book provides a very detailed and comprehensive presentation of the theory and applications of Galois theory." (Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2006a) "Happily, Cox's book reads more like a monograph, making a solid case for new subjects rather than rapidly treating a classical one." (CHOICE, September 2005) " ... offers a careful discussion ... and will certainly fascinate anyone interested in abstract algebra: a remarkable book!" (Monatshefte fur Mathematik, August 2006)
