About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"The text offers the standard material of classical field theory and Galois theory, though in a remarkably original, unconventional and comprehensive manner … . the book under review must be seen as a highly welcome and valuable complement to existing textbook literature … . It comes with its own features and advantages … it surely is a perfect introduction to this evergreen subject. The numerous explaining remarks, hints, examples and applications are particularly commendable … just as the outstanding clarity and fullness of the text." (Werner Kleinert, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1089 (15), 2006)
From the reviews of the second edition:
“The book is a valuable reference, covering many more topics than most of the standard books on the subject.” (Mowaffaq Hajja, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1195, 2010)
