The primary objective of this work is to present a of Abel's Impossibility Theorem. This theorem states that there is no general formula for the roots of a polynomial equation of degree five or higher using only arithmetic operations and radicals.

This report focuses on the book by V.B. Alekseev, which is based on a legendary 1963–1964 lecture series given by Professor V.I. Arnold to Moscow high school students. Overview of the Work

Arnold’s proof centers on how the roots of a polynomial behave as its coefficients move along closed loops in complex space:

When coefficients traverse certain loops, the roots of the polynomial undergo a non-trivial permutation.

Groups are introduced naturally as "transformation groups" (e.g., symmetry groups of regular polyhedra like the dodecahedron) rather than starting with abstract definitions.
