Talk: Galois theory

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Hi. Great stuff I do not know a lot about. And good to read. I'd like to add one little thought. When you write constructed with a straight edge and a compass shouldn't that be constructed with a compass? What do you think? Cheers Robert_Dober 21:33 Oct 17, 2002 (UTC)

This page needs attention at the point where it defines Aut(L/K) to be a Galois group. Well, it is that precisely when it's a Galois extension; the old treatment here at WP seems not really adequate on this matter.

I have a minor beef with the "Example of a quadratic equation" section. Roots should be thought of algebraicly and the discussion of symmetries in a graph is misleading. For instance, we can permute the three roots of x^3-2 but it doesn't correspond to any reflections or rotations of a graph. Maybe this should be rewritten? dunkstr 01:13, 25 May 2004 (UTC)
