Elements of group theory N2 - Annotation; Presents physicists and theoretical chemists with discussions from the field of mathematics. The bodies and Galois rings are an important field of pure mathematics. In recent years, they have proven to be very useful in theoretical physics, especially in the field of the theory of quantum information. Unfortunately, the literature on body and Galois rings is primarily made for mathematicians and is difficult to access for physicists, hence the need for this timely book UR - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9781785482359 ER -
