Book Summary of Exploratory Galois Theory

Combining a concrete perspective with an exploration-based approach, Exploratory Galois Theory 
develops Galois theory at an entirely undergraduate level. The text grounds the presentation in 
the concept of algebraic numbers with complex approximations and assumes of its readers only 
a first course in abstract algebra. The author organizes the theory around natural questions about
 algebraic numbers, and exercises with hints and proof sketches encourage students' participation 
in the development. For readers with Maple or Mathematica, the text introduces tools for 
hands-on
 experimentation with finite extensions of the rational numbers, enabling a familiarity never
 before available to students of the subject. Exploratory Galois Theory includes classical
 applications, from ruler-and-compass constructions to solvability by radicals, and also outlines the
 generalization from subfields of the complex numbers to arbitrary fields. The text is appropriate 
for traditional lecture courses, for seminars, or for self-paced independent study by
 undergraduates and graduate students.
