Algebraic equations: an introduction to the theories of Lagrange and Galois

Edgar Dehn0486439003, 9780486439006

Meticulous and complete, this presentation is geared toward upper-level undergraduate and graduate students. It explores the basic ideas of algebraic theory as well as Lagrange and Galois theory, concluding with the application of Galoisian theory to the solution of special equations. Many numerical examples, with complete solutions. 1930 edition.
