Description

This fifth instalment in the acclaimed Math Girls series explores the groundbreaking work of Évariste Galois, a 19th-century mathematician who revolutionised mathematics with his innovative approach. Galois's pioneering work bridged the worlds of groups and fields, leading to significant advances in group theory and its applications.

Through an engaging narrative, this book delves into Galois's development of his theory, covering topics such as geometric constructions, polynomial equations, and field theory. The author also examines related concepts, including roots of unity, symmetric polynomials, and vector spaces. A tour through Galois's first paper is also included, providing insight into the necessary conditions for a polynomial to be algebraically solved using radicals.

With its engaging narrative and in-depth exploration of Galois theory, this book offers something for anyone interested in mathematics, from advanced high school students to college educators. Perfect for those looking to deepen their understanding of group theory and its applications.
