Abstract

Galois theory is the study of roots of polynomials and their symmetries in terms of Galois groups. As the algebraic counterpart of the fundamental group of topology, the Galois group is an essential object in algebraic geometry and number theory. This course is optional. Pre-requisites : Basic algebra: groups, rings, linear algebra over a field.
