Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book unveils the history of solving general polynomial equations of degrees up to four. It begins with the Lagrange-Cauchy-Abel Theory of General Algebraic Equations. Then Galois' theory of algebraic equations is introduced, which allows the determination of the solvability of an equation by radicals alone. A historical perspective is offered, beginning with Cardano's solution of the cubic in the 16th century to Galois' groundbreaking work in the 19th. The thematic depth lies in presenting a comprehensive study of algebraic equations. It includes criteria for algebraic solvability, metacyclic equations, Galoisian equations, and more. The book's insights are significant, giving readers a deep understanding of the evolution of Galois theory and its role in determining the solvability of polynomial equations. The author's clear and accessible writing style makes this book suitable for both students and scholars in mathematics, as well as anyone interested in the captivating history of mathematics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
