About this title

About the Author

Jean-Pierre Serre is one of the leading mathematicians of the twentieth century, active in algebraic geometry, number theory, and topology. He has received numerous awards and honors for his mathematical research and exposition, including the Fields Medal in 1954 and the Abel Prize in 2003.

Review

" is a very stimulating text, which . . . will attract mathematicians working in group theory, number theory, algebraic geometry, and complex analysis.
―Zentralblatt für Mathematik

This small book contains a nice introduction to some classical highlights and some recent work on the inverse Galois theory problem. The topics and main theorems are carefully chosen and composed in a masterly manner.
―Mathematiacl Reviews -July 2007
""Serre had the great good sense to have notes taken at his 1988 lectures at Harvard, creating a slim volume of great interest..."" -BOOK NEWS Inc., June 2008
J.-P. Serre, one of the greatest mathematicians in our time, provides here a unique introduction to both some classical milestones and some recent developments in the realm of inverse Galois theory. ... [This book] will maintain its unique, unparalleled role in the literature on inverse Galois theory for further generations. Now as before, J.-P. Serre's masterpiece of expository writing is an unvaluable source of inspiration and incitement likewise. -Werner Kleinert, Zentralblatt MATH, January 2007
""Serre’s book helped to call the attention to a deep classical problem with connections to algebraic geometry, topology, algebra, and number theory. By carefully selecting examples, methods and topics, this book goes deeply into the problem."" -MAA Reviews, September 2008"
