Description
This programme illustrates how the (already established) existence of a chain of extension fields has consequences for the structure of the associated Galois group. Finally a quintic whose Galois g...roup is not solvable answers the basic problem. There is no general formula for the the solution of polynomials of degree 5 and higher.
