In this survey the classical results of Abel, Liouville, Galois, Picard, Vessiot, Kolchin, and others on the solvability and unsolvability of equations in explicit form are discussed. The one-dimensional topological version of Galois theory is presented in detail (this version describes topological obstructions to the representability of functions by quadratures).
