Galois theory is a mature mathematical subject of particular
beauty. Any Galois theory book written nowadays bears a great debt
to Emil Artin's classic text "Galois Theory," and this book is no
exception. While Artin's book pioneered an approach to Galois
theory that relies heavily on linear algebra, this book's author
takes the linear algebra emphasis even further. This special
approach to the subject together with the clarity of its
presentation, as well as the choice of topics covered, has made the
first edition of this book a more than worthwhile addition to the
literature on Galois Theory. The second edition, with a new chapter
on transcendental extensions, will only further serve to make the
book appreciated by and approachable to undergraduate and beginning
graduate math majors.
