Overview
Combining a concrete perspective with an exploration-based approach, this analysis develops Galois theory at an entirely undergraduate level. The text grounds the presentation in the concept of algebraic numbers with complex approximations and only requires knowledge of a first course in abstract algebra. It introduces tools for hands-on experimentation with finite extensions of the rational numbers for readers with Maple or Mathematica.
