New to the Fifth Edition Reorganised and revised Chapters 7 and 13 New exercises and examples Expanded, updated references Further historical material on figures besides Galois: Omar Khayyam, Vandermonde, Ruffini, and Abel A new final chapter discussing other directions in which Galois theory has developed: the inverse Galois problem, differential Galois theory, and a (very) brief introduction to p-adic Galois representations This bestseller continues to deliver a rigorous, yet engaging, treatment of the subject while keeping pace with current educational requirements.
