From the reviews: '... Despite the appearance [...] in a series titled Algorithms and Computation of Mathematics, computation occupies only a small part ofthe monograph. It is best described as a useful reference for one's personal collection and a text for a full-year course given to graduate or even senior undergraduate students. [...] the book under review is worth purchasing for the library and possibly even for one's own collection. The author's interest inthe history and development of this area is evident, and we have pleasant glimpses of progress over the last three centuries [...] the reader gains a synopsis of and guide to the literature ...' E.Barbeau, SIAM Review 47:3, 2005. 'This is an exposition of polynomial theory and results, both classical and modern. [...] the volume is packed with results and proofs that are well organised thematically [...] What is unusual is to have a text that embraces and intermingles both analytic and algebraic aspects of the theory…' S.D.Cohen, Math.Reviews 2005 Covers its topic in greater depth than the typical standard books on polynomial algebra INDICE: Foreword.- Roots of Polynomials.- Irreducible Polynomials.- Polynomials of a Particular Form.- Certain Properties of Polynomials.- Galois Theory.- Ideals in Polynomial Rings.- Hilbert's Seventeenth Problem.- Appendix.- Bibliography.
