>Galois/ring theory
Start with just ring theory or group theory. Galois theory comes much later. There is an active thread >>16706377 with textbook recommendations. Ring theory is the most intuitive to start with imo because
>[math]\mathbb Z[/math] is a ring
>[math]\mathbb Q[/math] is a ring
>[math]\mathbb R[/math] is a ring
>[math]\mathbb C[/math] is a ring
>[math]\mathbb Z[x][/math] i.e. polynomials with coefficients in [math]\mathbb Z[/math], is a ring
>…and similarly for Q,R,C
>[math]\mathbb Z / \langle n \rangle[/math] i.e. the integers mod n, is a ring
So rings are just generally intuitive since you have seen so many of them before

Lol..?
