Postnikov (1962) is a concise and rigorous introduction to the structure and beauty of Galois theory, designed for advanced undergraduates and early-stage graduate students. This classic text systematically unfolds the connection between field theory and group theory, leading readers through the fundamental theorem of Galois theory, which reveals the profound relationship between polynomial roots and group symmetries. Postnikov's approachable, careful exposition and numerous concrete examples make complex concepts such as solvability by radicals, field extensions, and Galois groups accessible, establishing a solid foundation for further study in abstract algebra and the theory of equations. Walter Ledermann (19112009) was a German-born British mathematician celebrated for his deep contributions across matrix theory, group theory, homological algebra, number theory, and statistics. After fleeing Nazi Germany due to his Jewish heritage, Ledermann completed his doctorate at the University of St Andrews, collaborating with distinguished mathematicians throughout Britain. He became a revered educator, producing influential textbooks such as "Introduction to the Theory of Finite Groups" and playing a key role in mathematical publishing. Elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Ledermann's career spanned decades at leading UK universities, and his approachable style inspired both students and colleagues until well into his nineties. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 142 pages.
