I bought the third edition of "Abstract Algebra" by Dummit and Foote. In my opinion this is the best "algebra book" that has been written.

I found several solution manual but none has solutions for Chapters 13 and 14 (Field extensions and Galois theory respectively)

Is there a solution manual for these chapters?

If anyone is interested, I made a full solution manual for Chapter 13 - Field Theory.

You can find it here .

With my friends we make a partial solution manual for chapter 13 in spanish (since is our native language) as @James S. Cook proposed.

There's a mistake in the solution to problem 17. The problem asks to prove that the degree n of an irreducible polynomial f(x) divides the degree of an irreducible factor of the composite f(g(x)), but the proof purports to show the opposite, that m divides n. The problem is that \alpha and \g(\alpha) have gotten switched around in the final line. Otherwise, everything is okay
