Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Written by a prominent mathematician, this text offers advanced undergraduate and graduate students a virtually self-contained treatment of the basics of Galois theory. The source of modern abstract algebra and one of abstract algebra's most concrete applications, Galois theory serves as an excellent introduction to group theory and provides a strong, historically relevant motivation for the introduction of the basics of abstract algebra.This two-part treatment begins with the elements of Galois theory, focusing on related concepts from field theory, including the structure of important types of extensions and the field of algebraic numbers. A consideration of relevant facts from group theory leads to a survey of Galois theory, with discussions of normal extensions, the order and correspondence of the Galois group, and Galois groups of a normal subfield and of two fields. The second part explores the solution of equations by radicals, returning to the general theory of groups for relevant facts, examining equations solvable by radicals and their construction, and concluding with the unsolvability by radicals of the general equation of degree n 5. A virtually self-contained treatment of the basics of Galois theory. This 2-part approach begins with the elements of Galois theory and concludes with the unsolvability by radicals of the general equation of degree n is greater than 5.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Riemannian geometry is a fundamental area of modern mathematics and is important to the study of relativity. Within the larger context of Riemannian mathematics, the active subdiscipline of geodesics (shortest paths) in Riemannian spaces is of particular significance. This compact and self-contained text by a noted theorist presents the essentials of modern differential geometry as well as basic tools for the study of Morse theory. The advanced treatment emphasizes analytical rather than topological aspects of Morse theory and requires a solid background in calculus. Suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students of mathematics, the text opens with a chapter on smooth manifolds, followed by a consideration of spaces of affine connection. Subsequent chapters explore Riemannian spaces and offer an extensive treatment of the variational properties of geodesics and auxiliary theorems and matters. AUTHOR: Soviet mathematician Mikhail Mikhailovich Postnikov (19272004) worked primarily in algebraic and differential topology. He was on the Mechanics and Mathematics faculty of Moscow State University. Compact, self-contained text by a noted theorist presents essentials of modern differential geometry and basic tools for study of Morse theory. Advanced treatment emphasizes Morse theory's analytical rather than topological aspects. 1967 edition.

Original boards. Condition: Very Good. No Dust Jacket. First Edition. With ownership's signature of W. Ledermann (1911-2009) on front free endpaper, and Sussex University Bookshop Label on front pastedown. Slight wear to spine, covers & corners.; "Fundamentals of Galois Theory" by M. M. Postnikov (1962) is a concise and rigorous introduction to the structure and beauty of Galois theory, designed for advanced undergraduates and early-stage graduate students. This classic text systematically unfolds the connection between field theory and group theory, leading readers through the fundamental theorem of Galois theory, which reveals the profound relationship between polynomial roots and group symmetries. Postnikovâs approachable, careful exposition and numerous concrete examples make complex concepts such as solvability by radicals, field extensions, and Galois groups accessible, establishing a solid foundation for further study in abstract algebra and the theory of equations. Walter Ledermann (1911â"2009) was a German-born British mathematician celebrated for his deep contributions across matrix theory, group theory, homological algebra, number theory, and statistics. After fleeing Nazi Germany due to his Jewish heritage, Ledermann completed his doctorate at the University of St Andrews, collaborating with distinguished mathematicians throughout Britain. He became a revered educator, producing influential textbooks such as "Introduction to the Theory of Finite Groups" and playing a key role in mathematical publishing. Elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Ledermannâs career spanned decades at leading UK universities, and his approachable style inspired both students and colleagues until well into his nineties.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 142 pages.…
