In this presentation of the Galois correspondence, modern theories of groups and fields are used to study problems, some of which date back to the ancient Greeks. The techniques used to solve these problems, rather than the solutions themselves, are of primary importance. The ancient Greeks were concerned with constructibility problems. For example, they tried to determine if it was possible, using straightedge and compass alone, to perform any of the following tasks? (1) Double an arbitrary cube; in particular, construct a cube with volume twice that of the unit cube. (2) Trisect an arbitrary angle. (3) Square an arbitrary ... Read more

Reviews for Introduction to the Galois Correspondence
"It is the clearest this reviewer has ever seen... Particularly remarkable is the author's avoidance of all temptations to give pretty proofs of neatly arranged theorems at the cost of clarity... Highly recommended".
