Description

J.-P. Escofier Galois Theory "Escofier’s treatment, at a level suitable for advanced, senior undergraduates or first-year graduate students, centers on finite extensions of number fields, incorporating numerous examples and leaving aside finite fields and the entire concept of separability for the final chapters . . . copious, well-chosen exercises . . . are presented with their solutions . . . The prose is . . . spare and enthusiastic, and the proofs are both instructive and efficient . . . Escofier has written an excellent text, offering a relatively elementary introduction to a beautiful subject in a book sufficiently broad to present a contemporary viewpoint and intuition but sufficiently restrained so as not to overwhelm the reader."—AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY
