Some known results on polynomial factorization over towers of field
... We consider the polynomial ring S[t1 , . . . , tn ], with either: • S=Z • or S = Fq , with q a prime power, and in this case n > 0. We let K be the fraction field of S and introduce the field of fractions K(t1 , . . . , tn ); we are interested in a field extension L of K(t1 , . . . , tn ) of the for ...

10.3 Simplified Form for Radicals
... If bn = a, then b is an nth root of a and b = a1/n = a , where a is called the radicand and n is called the root index. If n is a positive even integer and a is a positive real number, then a1/n is the positive real nth root of a and is called the principal root. If n is a positive odd integer and a ...

... 4. Let f = t3 + 2t2 + 3t + 4 and g = t2 + 1. (These are elements of the ring R[t], for example.) By using long division of polynomials, find polynomials q, r so that f = qg + r and r = 0 or deg r < deg g. Repeat this exercise with f = t4 − 2t3 + 3t − 2 and g = t − 1. Repeat this exercise with f = t4 ...

6.6. Unique Factorization Domains
... We say that a1 , . . . , as are relatively prime if 1 is a greatest common divisor of {a1 , . . . , as }, that is, if a1 , . . . , as have no common irreducible factors. Remark 6.6.3. In a principal ideal domain R, a greatest common divisor of two elements a and b is always an element of the ideal a ...
