Description

Book Synopsis
Ever since the concepts of Galois groups in algebra and fundamental groups in topology emerged during the nineteenth century, mathematicians have known of the strong analogies between the two concepts. This book presents the connection starting at an elementary level and assuming as little technical background as possible.

Trade Review
"The book is well written and contains much information about the etale fundamental group. There are exercises in every chapter. On the whole, the book is useful for mathematicians and graduate students looking for one place where they can find information about the etale fundamental group and the related Nori fundamental group scheme." Swaminathan Subramanian, Mathematical Reviews
