This book presents the basic theory of fields, starting more or less from the beginning. It is suitable for a graduate course in field theory, or independent study. The reader is expected to have taken an undergraduate course in abstract algebra, not so much for the material it contains but in order to gain a certain level of mathematical maturity.
The book begins with a preliminary chapter (Chapter 0), which is designed to be quickly scanned or skipped and used as a reference if needed. The remainder of the book is divided into three parts.
Part 1, entitled Field Extensions, begins with a chapter on polynomials. Chapter 2 is devoted to various types of field extensions, including finite, finitely generated, algebraic and normal. Chapter 3 takes a close look at the issue of separability. In my classes, I generally cover only Sections 3.1 to 3.4 (on perfect fields). Chapter 4 is devoted to algebraic independence, starting with the general notion of a dependence relation and concluding with Luroth's theorem on intermediate fields of a simple transcendental extension.
Part 2 of the book is entitled Galois Theory. Chapter 5 examines Galois theory from an historical perspective, discussing the contributions from Lagrange,Vandermonde, Gauss, Newton, and others that led to the development of the theory. I have also included a very brief look at the very brief life of Galois himself.
Chapter 6 begins with the notion of a Galois correspondence between two partially ordered sets, and then specializes to the Galois correspondence of a field extension, concluding with a brief discussion of the Krull topology. In Chapter 7, we discuss the Galois theory of equations. In Chapter 8, we view a field extension E of F as a vector space over F.
Chapter 9 and Chapter 10 are devoted to finite fields, although this material can be omitted in order to reach the topic of solvability by radicals more quickly.Mobius inversion is used in a few places, so an appendix has been included on this subject.
Part 3 of the book is entitled The Theory of Binomials. Chapter 11 covers the roots of unity and Wedderbum's theorem on finite division rings. We also briefly discuss the question of whether a given group is the Galois group of a field extension. In Chapter 12, we characterize cyclic extensions and splitting fields of binomials when the base field contains appropriate roots of unity.Chapter 13 is devoted to the question of solvability of a polynomial equation by radicals. (This chapter might make a convenient ending place in a graduate course.) In Chapter 14, we determine conditions that characterize the irreducibility of a binomial and describe the Galois group of a binomial. Chapter 15 briefly describes the theory of families of binomials--the so-called Kummer theory.
Sections marked with an asterisk may be skipped without loss of continuity. hanges for the Second Edition
Let me begin by thanking the readers of the first edition for their many helpful comments and suggestions.
For the second edition, I have gone over the entire book, and rewritten most of it, including the exercises. I believe the book has benefited significantly from a class testing at the beginning graduate level and at a more advanced graduate level.
I have also rearranged the chapters on separability and algebraic independence,feeling that the former is more important when time is of the essence. In my course, I generally touch only very lightly (or skip altogether) the chapter on algebraic independence, simply because of time constraints.
As mentioned earlier, as several readers have requested, 1 have added a chapter on Galois theory from an historical perspective.
A few additional topics are sprinkled throughout, such as a proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, a discussion of casus irreducibilis,Berlekamp's algorithm for factoring polynomials over Zp and natural and accessory irrationalities.
Thanks
I would like to thank my students Phong Le, Sunil Chetty, Timothy Choi and Josh Chan, who attended lectures on essentially the entire book and offeredmany helpful suggestions. I would also like to thank my editor, Mark Spencer,who puts up with my many requests and is most amiable.
