A3- History of Algebra since Galois

Massimo Galuzzi : Milan University; Italy


Summary                  Bibliography



Summary

I have planned to speak about some topics in the history of modern algebra, focusing the attention on the evolution of Galois theory, from Galois till Emil Artin.
This may offer the occasion of seeing the evolution of some structures: groups: from permutation groups to abstract groups, fields, rings...
I would like to end with some lecture about category theory and/or Bourbaki and their respective images of algebra.
