	Galois Theory for Beginners
		Galois theory is the culmination of a centuries-long search for a solution to the classical problem of solving algebraic equations by radicals.
		The applications of the theory to geometric constructions, including the ancient problems of squaring the circle, duplicating the cube, and trisecting an angle, and the construction of regular n-gons are also presented.
		Using the class of algebraic objects that we previously mentioned, it became possible at the beginning of the twentieth century to reformulate what has come to be called Galois theory, and indeed in such a way that the problem itself can be posed in terms of such objects.

	Galois theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Further abstraction of Galois theory is achieved by the theory of Galois connections.
		Galois theory not only provides a beautiful answer to this question, it also explains in detail why it is possible to solve equations of degree four or lower in the above manner, and why their solutions take the form that they do.
		The central idea of Galois theory is to consider those permutations (or rearrangements) of the roots having the property that any algebraic equation satisfied by the roots is still satisfied after the roots have been permuted.

	Galois theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Galois theory is that branch of abstract algebra which studies the symmetries of the roots of polynomials.
		Symmetries are usually expressed in terms of symmetry groups, and in fact the abstract notion of group was invented by Evariste Galois for the very purpose of describing symmetries of roots.
		In the modern approach, the formalism is changed somewhat, in order to achieve a precise and more general definition: one starts with a field extension L/K and defines its Galois group as the group of all field automorphisms of L which keep all elements of K fixed.

		Galois theory studies the symmetry of equations by investigating the ways in which fields can be contained in each other.
		The significance of an extension being Galois is that it obeys the fundamental theorem of Galois theory.
		There are three historical roots of group theory: the theory of algebraic equations, number theory and geometry.

	Evariste Galois
		Galois tried to start his own school of mathematics, but got no students, so he joined the National Guard -- "If a carcass is needed to stir up the people, I will donate mine." Galois was jailed for supposedly threatening the King, but was found 'not guilty' by a jury.
		Galois took it violently and was disgusted with love, with himself, and with his girl." A few days later Galois encountered some of his political enemies and "an affair of honor," a duel, was arranged.
		Galois was shot in the intestines, and was taken to the hospital.

	Algebraic homotopy, Galois theory and Descent (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		To develop the Galois theory and Galois cohomology of higher dimensional algebraic, geometric and combinatorial structures inherent in Algebraic Homotopy and Algebraic Geometry.
		As one would expect, mixes of Galois theory and descent are being applied back in algebraic geometric settings with results on ringed topoi, whilst work by Brown continues to look at essential obstructions to extending local to global information measurable by monodromy groupoids generalising the fundamental group.
		The corresponding Galois theory and resulting algebraic homotopy is being studied at Bangor, not only for the potential application within equivariant homotopy and the theory of orbifolds, but also as a test bed for methods relating to Grothendieck's programme.

		Galois was the James Dean of mathematics: he lived fast (arrested twice for revolutionary activities) and died young (in a pistol duel over a woman, aged 20).
		Of course, he also invented Galois Theory, and in doing so both solved one of the outstanding problems of contemporary mathematics and sowed the seeds of modern algebra.
		Abel prepared the ground for Galois: he showed that there is no general formula for solving the quintic, a result that Galois later refined.

	ABSTRACT ALGEBRA ON LINE: Galois Theory
		To study solvability by radicals of a polynomial equation f(x) = 0, we let K be the field generated by the coefficients of f(x), and let F be a splitting field for f(x) over K. Galois considered permutations of the roots that leave the coefficient field fixed.
		The next lemma shows that in computing Galois groups it is enough to consider polynomials with integer coefficients.
		Then a powerful technique is to reduce the integer coefficients modulo a prime and consider the Galois group of the reduced equation over the field GF(p).

		The appropriate parts of works by Cardano, Lagrange, Vandermonde, Gauss, Abel and Galois are reviewed and placed in their historical perspective, with the aim of conveying to the reader a sense of the way in which the theory of algebraic equations has evolved and has led to such basic mathematical notions as "group" and "field".

		Galois proof of the unsolvability of the quintic by radicals is just a more sophisticated variation on this theme.
		Then we define the "Galois group of K over k" to be the group of all automorphisms of K that act as the identity on k.
		Another point: there is no need for Galois theory to prove that duplication of the cube and trisection of an angle cannot be done by ruler and compass.
