Summary
This book follows the standard outline of a course in the theory of equations while placing greater emphasis on the theory of polynomials, which should be particularly valuable to mathematics students. There is a small amount of abstract algebra, which should be painlessly absorbable even by those to whom it is not a primary interest. The computational aspects have not been neglected, and this should be appropriate for a one-semester course understandable to undergraduates in physics, chemistry, statistics, agriculture, engineering, and pure mathematics.
