Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines equations of the form x^5 + p(x) = 0, where p(x) is a polynomial with rational coefficients. The author begins by reviewing the history of these equations, from their first appearance in the work of 16th-century Italian mathematician Lodovico Ferrari to their eventual solution by Niels Henrik Abel in the 19th century. The author then provides a detailed exposition of Abel's ideas, showing how they can be used to solve a wide variety of quintic equations. The book also includes a discussion of the Galois theory of equations, which provides a deeper understanding of the solvability of polynomial equations in general. By exploring connections to other areas of mathematics and illuminating Abel's groundbreaking work, the author reveals the profound mathematical insights this subject holds. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
