Galois Theory by Ian Stewart is an excellent book indeed! I've got a hard copy lying at home that I am currently reading slowly page by page. I am planning to host book club meetups with this book later this year, perhaps during the winter if I am able to make good progress with this book.
In the meantime, if there is someone here who is interested in reading this type of books together and share updates with each other, I'd like to invite you to the IRC and Matrix channel named #bitwise [1][2] (the IRC and Matrix channels are bridged together, so you could join either one of them). The channel consists of some HN users as well as some users from other channels like ##math, ##physics, #cs, etc. It serves as an online space to share updates about mathematics and computation books you are reading and discuss their content.
Thanks for this! I tried joining a few other channels on Libera like #robotics and ##typetheory but they’re kinda dead. Usenet Newsgroups are also all spam. Will check it out.
