Description
Much of modern algebra has its roots in the solvability of equations by radicals. This look at the history of algebra follows a paper trail from the Renaissance solution of the cubic equation to Galois' description of his ideas. All important concepts are placed in their historical context.

An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available upon request from the Wiley editorial department.
