- Connects to classical integration in finite terms

## Abstract

In the preprint we present an outline of the one dimensional version of topological Galois theory. The theory studies topological obstruction to solvability of equations "in finite terms" (i.e. to their solvabilty by radicals, by elementary functions, by quadratures and so on). The preprint is based on the author's book on topological Galois theory. It contains definitions, statements of results and comments to them. Basically no proofs are presented.   The preprint was written as a part of the comments to a new edition (in preparation) of the classical book "Integration in finite terms'' by J.F.~Ritt. }
