		Next you consider an algebraic equation in one indeterminate (or unknown) whose coefficients lie in the field F. Another way to describe this equation is a polynomial with coefficients in F set equal to zero.
		This field K is called an algebraic extension of the field F, and is often denoted K = F(a), which is read, "F with a adjoined." It is an algebraic extension because a satisfies and algebraic equation, f(a) = 0.
		The opposite of an algebraic extension is a transcendental extension, which is gotten by adjoining an element b which satisfies no such equation.

		In abstract algebra, a field is an algebraic structure in which the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (except division by zero) may be performed and the associative, commutative, and distributive rules hold, which are familiar from the arithmetic of ordinary numbers.
		Fields are important objects of study in algebra since they provide the proper generalization of number domains, such as the sets of rational numbers, real numbers, or complex numbers.
		An algebraic extension of a field F is the smallest field containing F and a root of an irreducible polynomial p(x) in F[x].

	Algebraic number field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, an algebraic number field (or simply number field) is a finite (and therefore algebraic) field extension of the rational numbers Q.
		That is, it is a field which contains Q and has finite dimension when considered as a vector space over Q.
		The study of algebraic number fields, and these days also of infinite algebraic extensions of the rational number field, is the central topic of algebraic number theory.

		Moreover, if we fix a finite algebraic extension F of the rationals, the set of all algebraic integers lying in F forms a subring of F called the "ring of integers" of F. Rings of algebraic integers have many properties analogous to those of the usual integers.
		It is a fundamental theorem of algebraic number theory that for any finite algebraic extension of the rationals, the class group is always a finite group.
		So if F is a finite algebraic extension of the rationals, the only extensions K of F for which Gal(K/F) could possibly be equal to the class group of F are those for which Gal(K/F) is abelian (the "abelian extensions of F").

		In the algebraic approach, we first define the ring of p-adic integers, and then construct the field of quotients of this ring to get the field of p-adic numbers.
		The real numbers have only a single proper algebraic extension, the complex numbers; in other words, this quadratic extension is already algebraically closed.
		Thus e is a member of the algebraic closure of p-adic numbers for all p.

	Galois Theory Glossary
		An extension of fields L/K (this notation does not denote any sort of quotient) is a ring homomorphism K --> L. Such a homomorphism has to be injective, so that K is isomorphic to a subfield of L. It is often convenient to identify K with this subfield.
		A Galois extension is a normal separably algebraic extension of finite degree.
		Let L/K be an extension of fields, and let a in L be algebraic over K. The minimal polynomial of a over K is the unique monic polynomial f(t) in K[t] of least degree such that f(a) = 0.

		Equivalently, an algebraic number is the root of an irreducible polynomial in the rationals.
		Adjoining a finite set of algebraic elements produces a finite extension, and every element in a finite extension is algebraic, hence the extension is algebraic.
		Each extension has dimension p, and if the composite extension were finite, there would not be room for a p dimensional extension for large p.

		Any simple algebraic field is isomorphic to the field formed by adjoining an indeterminate, x, to the base field, and then factoring out by the two sided ideal generated by the minimum polynomial of the algebraic element over the base field.
		A chain of degree two extensions is called a square root tower (since the square root of anything in one extension is the addition to make the next higher (simple) extension).
		Since the extension field is merely the base field with the roots appended, the transitivity theorem states that anything in the Galois group moves these roots to each other.

	Introduction to "Taming Wild Extensions" of Lindsay N. Childs
		Galois module theory is the branch of algebraic number theory which studies rings of integers of Galois extensions of number fields as modules over the integral group ring of the Galois group.
		Since wild extensions include all ramified Galois extensions of a local field K containing \Bbb Q_p where the Galois group is a p-group, this was a substantial omission.
		We then give Byott's classification of Galois extensions for which the classical Galois structure is the unique Hopf Galois structure, and survey results on the number of Hopf Galois structures on Galois extensions with Galois group G for various G, including cyclic p-groups {Ko98}, and symmetric, alternating and simple groups {CC99}.

	Algebraic and integral closures
		The algebraic closure of F in K is the subset of K consisting of elements algebraic over F. The subfield F of K is said to be algebraically closed in K if it is its own algebraic closure in K. Theorem.
		That theory flourished in the latter part of the 19th century, but was approaching its practical limits just as Hilbert, Noether, and others began developing the abstract approach that still dominates modern algebra.
		Let A be a subring of B. The integral closure of A in B is a ring, and is integrally closed in B. The proof is much the same as for algebraic closures.
