Galois Theory


Posted by Tom Leinster I’ve just arXived my notes for Edinburgh’s undergraduate Galois theory course, which I taught from 2021 to 2023. I first shared the notes on my website some time ago.

Notes forming a complete, self-contained account of the part of Galois theory that we covered. It’s true that I probably took a bit of extra care on them: I first taught the course during full Covid lockdown, and I felt the students would need more guidance than usual, given that they were deprived of all opportunities for face-to-face interaction. But I wonder whether the real reason is that the Galois theory notes simply look nicer, with colour and little icons and so on.
