{"product_id":"fields-and-galois-theory-john-m-howie-9781852339869","title":"Fields and Galois Theory","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a gentle introduction to this popular subject. Assuming a background of a first course in abstract algebra, the book covers rings, ideals, quotients and homomorphisms, introduces polynomials, field extensions and splitting fields, gives a description of finite fields, and includes a brief account of the use of such fields in coding theory. It provides a readable, \"student-friendly\" introduction that takes a more \"natural\" approach to its subject (compared to the more formal introductions by Stewart and Garling), and that features clear explanations and plenty of worked examples and exercises - with full solutions - to encourage independent study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John M.
