Galois Theory
Galois theory provides a connection between field theory and group theory.
The course covers: Galois theory for finite field extensions, including the theory of constructions with straightedge and compass and for solving algebraic equations by iterated root extractions. Applications of Galois theory to finite fields and cyclotomic fields.
The course consists of one element.
