Galois Theory at Work

1. Examples Example 1.1. The field extension Q(√ 2, √ 3)/Q is Galois of degree 4, so its Galois group has order 4. The elements of the Galois group are determined by their values on √ 2 and √ 3. The Q-conjugates of √ 2 and √ 3 are ± √ 2 and ± √ 3, so we get at most four possible automorphisms in the Galois group. See Table 1. Since the Galois group has order 4, these 4 possible assignments of v...
