Title: Not good at all
Review: We used this book in a junior undergraduate class named "Field Extensions and Galois Theory" and I really hated it. The arguments made in proofs are often not really clear. The exercises don't help much in understanding the material on that section, they are sometimes just irrelevant.The author defines a "Ring of Remainders" for a given polynomial and it is really disturbing when you know that the same ring arises much more naturally as a quotient ring using the ideal generated by the given polynomial.I think the book also lacks somewhat in motivation, especially compared to books like Ian Stewart's. I had to purchase Stewart's book to understand the subject better while I was taking the course actually.Overall, I really don't advise this book. I can say Stewart's book is clearly better and I'm sure there are a lot more better books in Galois Theory out there.
