Product Description
Review
"This edition preserves and even extends one of the most popular features of the original edition: the historical introduction and the story of the fatal duel of Evariste Galois. These historical notes should be of interest to students as well as mathematicians in general. [A]fter more than 30 years, Ian Stewart's Galois Theory remains a valuable textbook for algebra undergraduate students." - Zentralblatt MATH, 1049 "The penultimate chapter is about algebraically closed fields and the last chapter, on transcendental numbers, contains 'what-every-mathematician-should-see-at-least-once', the proof of transcendence of pi. The book is designed for the second and third year undergraduate courses. I will certainly use it." - EMS Newsletter
Product Description
Ian Stewart's Galois Theory has been in print for 30 years. Resoundingly popular, it still serves its purpose very well, but mathematics education has changed considerably since 1973This edition brings the presentation in line with more modern approaches. While preserving and extending the most popular features of the previous editions, the author reorganized the material to place the concrete before the abstract. He also added more technical history, incorporated several newer proofs, and revived some classical topics. There is simply no more engaging, no more accessible, no more outstanding introduction to the intriguing concepts of abstract algebra than Galois Theory.

First Sentence
In the first part of this book, Chapters 1 to 15, we present a (fairly) modern version of Galois's ideas in the same setting that he used, namely, the complex numbers. Read the first page
