The first part explores Galois theory, focusing on related concepts from field theory. The second part discusses the solution of equations by radicals, returning to the general theory of groups for relevant facts, examining equations solvable by radicals and their construction, and concludes with the unsolvability by radicals of the general equation of degree n > 5. 1962 edition. Unabridged republication of the edition published by The Macmillan Company, New York, 1962.
Elements of Abstract Algebra by Allan Clark Lucid coverage of the major theories of abstract algebra, with helpful illustrations and exercises included throughout. Unabridged, corrected republication of the work originally published 1971. Bibliography. Index. Includes 24 tables and figures.
Introduction to Field Theory: Second Edition by Iain T. Adamson This undergraduate text ranges from basics to important results, including properties of rings and fields, extension fields, and Galois theory. "An excellent introduction." — American Mathematical Monthly. 1982 edition.
