Mathematics: Galois Theory

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: MATM41

<p>The course aims to provide a deeper understanding of field extensions, and a connection between the theory of polynomial equations and group theory.</p><p>The course treats:</p> <ul> <li>Field extensions: splitting fields, normal extensions and separable extensions, field automorphisms, normal closures.</li> <li>Galois groups: Galois extensions, the Galois Correspondence, the Fundamental Theorem of Galois Theory.</li> <li>Polynomial equations: solvability by radicals, insolvable quintics, symmetric polynomials, cyclotomic extension.</li> </ul>
