Abstract
In this final section, we show how to compute Galois groups of polynomials of low degree over ℚ. Recall that the Galois group of a polynomial of degree n is a subgroup of S n (regarded as the group of all permutations of the roots; of course, some of these permutations may have nothing to do with field automorphisms!).
