Algebra |

Authors: Timothy W. Jones
This is a primer for Chapter 3 of Hadlock's book Field Theory and Its Classical Problems: Solution by Radicals. We take a rather naive perspective and consider the linear and quadratic cases afresh and evolve what is really met by solving a polynomial by radicals. There are what we consider to be several hidden premises that some students might be subconsciously puzzled about.
Comments: 6 Pages. I've added a section that clarifies earlier statements concerning algebraic versus transcendental numbers. Thanks for any patience.
