Summary

Galois Fields: A Universe of Unexpected Connections

V. I. Arnold unveils surprising links between seemingly disparate fields: Galois fields, dynamical systems, ergodic theory, statistics, chaos, and the geometry of projective structures on finite sets. Through a blend of experimental results, illustrative examples, and geometrical explorations, Arnold makes these profound connections accessible to a wide audience, from undergraduate students to seasoned researchers.

What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Throughout, Arnold’s characteristic style of writing and thinking are evident. Ideas, intuitions, and well-presented examples abound, joined in only a few places by formal proofs… students and working mathematicians will find it accessible, provoctive, and maybe even inspiring.“Rafe Jones, Mathematical Reviews
