Galois theory is a central part of algebra, dealing with symmetries between solutions of algebraic equations in one variable. This collection of papers brings together articles from some of the world's leading experts in this field. Topics center around the Inverse Galois Problem, comprising the full range of methods and approaches in this area, making this an invaluable resource for all those whose research involves Galois theory.
- Indispensable for researchers in this area
- Authors are top names
- Exciting area
