Galois Groups and Fundamental Groups
by

Publisher: San Francisco State University
Number of pages: 89

Description:
This course brings together two areas of mathematics that each concern symmetry -- symmetry in algebra, in the case of Galois theory; and symmetry in geometry, in the case of fundamental groups. Prerequisites are at least one course in algebra and analysis.
