Introduction to Field Theory: Second Edition (Dover Books on Mathematics)
By Iain T. Adamson.
Description
A fascinating branch of algebra with numerous applications, field theory leads the way to one of the most important theorems of mathematics, the fundamental theorem of Galois theory. This text ranges from field theory's basic definitions to its most significant results and applications, introducing both the spirit and techniques of abstract algebra. Appropriate for undergraduate students in pure mathematics, it presupposes minimal knowledge of elementary group theory.Acclaimed by American Mathematical Monthly as "an excellent introduction," this treatment begins by developing...
