Student colloquia | From algebraic Galois to differential Galois theory
Speaker:
Omar Leon Sanchez, Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo
Abstract:
One of the most interesting applications of (algebraic) Galois theory, and perhaps why it all started, is that it translates the problem of solving polynomials by radicals to group-theoretic questions (in which we sometimes have an easier way to find an answer, e.g. finite groups).
