===Extension Fields===

'''Definition.''' An extension field <math>E</math> of <math>F</math>.

'''Theorem.''' For every non-constant polynomial <math>f</math> in <math>F[x]</math> there is an extension <math>E</math> of <math>F</math> in which <math>f</math> has a zero.

'''Example''' <math>x^2+1</math> over <math>{\mathbb R}</math>.

'''Example''' <math>x^5+2x^2+2x+2=(x^2+1)(x^3+2x+2)</math> over <math>{\mathbb Z}/3</math>.

'''Definition.''' <math>F(a_1,\ldots,a_n)</math>.

'''Theorem.''' If <math>a</math> is a root of an irreducible polynomial <math>p\in F[x]</math>, within some extension field <math>E</math> of <math>F</math>, then <math>F(a)\cong F[a]/\langle p\rangle</math>, and <math>\{1,a,a^2,\ldots,a^{n-1}\}</math> (here <math>n=\deg p</math>) is a basis for <math>F(a)</math> over <math>F</math>.

'''Corollary.''' In this case, <math>F(a)</math> depends only on <math>p</math>.

'''Corollary.''' If <math>p\in F[x]</math> irreducible over <math>F</math>, <math>\phi:F\to F'</math> an isomorphism, <math>a</math> a root of <math>p</math> (in some <math>E/F</math>), <math>a'</math> a root of <math>\phi(p)</math> in some <math>E'/F'</math>, then <math>F[a]\cong F'[a']</math>.

'''Theorem.''' A splitting field always exists.

'''Example.''' <math>x^4-x^2-2=(x^2-2)(x^2+1)</math> over <math>{\mathbb Q}</math>.

===Splitting Fields===

'''Definition.''' <math>f\in F[x]</math> splits in <math>E/F</math>, a splitting field for <math>f</math> over <math>F</math>.
