The first part explores Galois theory, focusing on related concepts from field theory. The second part discusses the solution of equations by radicals, returning to the general theory of groups for relevant facts, examining equations solvable by radicals and their construction, and concludes with the unsolvability by radicals of the general equation of degree n > 5. 1962 edition.
Unabridged republication of the edition published by The Macmillan Company, New York, 1962.
