Book Review: Inverse Galois theory

The Inverse Problem in Diierential Galois Theory

1. Galois Theory The usual Galois theory of polynomial equations allows one to associate a group to a polynomial in such a way that the algebraic properties of the roots of the polynomial are reeected in properties of the group. More speciically, given a eld k and a polynomial p(x) with coeecients in the eld, one forms the splitting eld K of p(x) by formally adjoining all the roots of p(x) to k...

Book Review: Contemporary Sensorimotor Theory

Consciousness, with its irreducible subjective character, was almost exclusively a philosophical topic until relatively recently. Today, however, the problem of explaining the felt quality of experience has also become relevant to science and engineering, including robotics andAI: “What would we have to build into a robot so that it really felt the touch of a finger, the redness of red, or the ...

BOOK REVIEW Bohmian Mechanics and Quantum Theory

This collection Bohmian Mechanics and Quantum Theory gives us the broadest perspective yet on this important realist alternative to standard quantum theory. The book treats the history, philosophical rami"cations and consistency of theories arising from Bohm's original model and their relations to other alternative theories. Signi"cantly, it also contains applications of these theories to pract...
