About the Course

This 12-week comprehensive course covers Galois Theory, unifying various branches of mathematics and solving historically significant problems. It is designed for undergraduates, graduates, and researchers, starting with the quadratic formula and progressing to polynomials of degrees 3 and 4. Galois Theory, developed to explain the lack of formulas for polynomials of degree ≥ 5, is presented with historical insights. Classical results by Abel, Gauss, and Galois lead to a modern treatment, focusing on the solvability of polynomials. Basic knowledge of linear algebra is expected, but the course is self-contained, covering necessary fields, polynomials, and group theory. Topics include Galois extensions, finite fields, cyclic groups, and the inverse Galois problem.
