Calculation Of Galois Groups, Daniel Schnackenberg
Calculation Of Galois Groups, Daniel Schnackenberg
Theses and Dissertations
In the 19th Century Galois developed a method for determining whether an equation is solvable. It relied on the close relationship between fields and their automorphism group. This paper is a survey of the techniques of Galois theory. After presenting the main results of elementary Galois theory and some useful facts about factorization, I develop the important methods of calculating the Galois group and give a proof of the Chebotarev density theorem.
