Covering classic applications of the theory, such as solvability by radicals, geometric constructions, and finite fields, Galois Theory, Second Edition delves into novel topics like Abel's theory ofPure and applied mathematics (John Wiley & Sons : Unnumbered)Galois theoryEquations, Theory ofGalois theory.Equations, Theory of.512/.32Cox David A58032MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811064503321Galois theory2070501UNINA
