Galois theory (Galoisteori fdk)

Svenska, tack Det finns en svensk version av denna sida.


Welcome to this course!

The papers I've distributed are:

the first round of home exercises;

the second round of home exercises.



In order to pass this course, you both should deliver passable home exercises, and pass an oral exam (mainly concerning the theoretical parts).

More information may appear here during the course.

Literature: Galois theory (2'nd edition), by Ian Stewart.

There is a formal definition of this coursis (in Swedish) here. Mer informally, Galois theory inter alia is a tool for deciding which polynomial equations are solvable (in terms of the four common arithmetic operations and of taking radicals), and when so how to find the solutions, by means of the theories of groups and of fields.



The lectures will be most Fridays during this semester, 10.15 to 12.00.
