Algebra was born as the study of the solvability of polynomial equations and essentially remained so until in 1830 Evariste Galois - a brilliant mathematician with a short and adventurous life - definitively solved this problem, at the same time laying the foundations for the birth of modern algebra understood as the study of algebraic structures. Classical Galois Theory is now taught at various levels within the degree courses in Mathematics. This textbook was accordingly written to be used flexibly. Some parts - such as the one on Field Theory - can also be used for more advanced courses in Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory. Other topics - such as the study of the solubility by radicals of low degree equations or of the constructability with ruler and compass of plane figures - can be carried out in Complementary Mathematics courses for the didactic address. The volume also contains historical notes, many detailed examples and exercises.
