Galois theory is that branch of abstract algebra which studies the symmetries of the roots of polynomials. Symmetries are usually expressed in terms of symmetry groups, and in fact the abstract notion of group was invented by Evariste Galois for the very purpose of describing symmetries of roots.Galois theory has many applications to such classic mathematical problems as "Which regular polygons can be constructed in the classical way with straight edge and compass?" and "Why can't an angle be trisected?" (again, in the classical way with straight edge and compass) and "Why isn't there a formula for the roots of a 5th or higher degree polynomial in terms of the usual algebraic operations (+,-,*,/) and the taking of n-th roots?" (The Abel-Ruffini theorem.)
What exactly do we mean when we say "symmetries of roots of polynomials"? Such a symmetry is a permutation of the roots such that any algebraic equation which is satisfied by the roots is still satisfied after the roots have been permuted. These permutations form a group. Depending on the coefficients we allow in the algebraic equations, one gets thus different Galois groups.
For example, consider the polynomial (x2-5)2-24; we want to describe the Galois group of this polynomial "over the field of rational numbers" (i.e. allowing only rational numbers as coefficients in the invariant algebraic equations). The roots of the polynomial are
There are 24 possible ways to permute these four numbers, but not all of them are members of the Galois group. The members of the Galois group must preserve any identity that contains the variables a, b, c and d and rational numbers. One such identity is a + d = 0. Therefore the permutation a→a, b→b, c→d and d'\'→c is not permitted, as a maps to a and d maps to c, but a + c is not zero. A less obvious fact is that (a + b)2 = 8. Therefore, we could send (a, b) to (c, d), as we also have (c + d)2 = 8, but we could not send (a, b) to (a, c) as (a + c)2 = 12. On the other hand, we can send (a, b) to (c, d), despite the fact that a + b = 2√2 and c + d = -2√2. This is because the identity a + b'' = 2√2 contains an irrational number, and so we don't require the Galois group to preserve it. Putting all this together, we see that the Galois group contains only the following four permuations:
- a = √2 + √3, b = √2 - √3, c = -√2 + √3, d = -√2 - √3.
and the Galois group is isomorphic to the Klein four-group.
- (a, b, c, d) → (a, b, c, d)
- (a, b, c, d) → (c, d, a, b)
- (a, b, c, d) → (b, a, d, c)
- (a, b, c, d) → (d, c, b, a)
In the modern approach, the formalism is changed somewhat, in order to achieve a precise and more general definition: one starts with a field extension L/K and defines its Galois group as the group of all field automorphisms of L which keep all elements of K fixed. In the example above, we computed the Galois group of the field extension Q(a,b,c,d)/Q.
The notion of a solvable group in group theory allows us to determine whether or not a polynomial is solvable in the radicals, depending on whether or not its Galois group has the property of solvability. In essence, each field extension L/K corresponds to a factor group in a composition series of the Galois group. If a factor group in the composition series is cyclic of order n, then the corresponding field extension is a radical extension, and the elements of L can then be expressed using the nth root of some element of K.
If all the factor groups in its composition series are cyclic, the Galois group is called solvable, and all of the elements of the corresponding field can be found by repeatedly taking roots, products, and sums of elements from the base field (usually Q).
One of the great triumphs of Galois Theory was the proof that for every n > 4, there exist polynomials of degree n which are not solvable by radicals. This is due to the fact that for n > 4 the symmetric group Sn contains a simple, non-cyclic, normal subgroup.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Intelligence is a general mental capability that involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend ideas and language, and learn. While the definition and importance of intelligence is an issue of some controversy, especially in the popular press, a consensus opinion exists among intelligence researchers on many issues. When considering animal intelligence, a more general definition of intelligence might be applied: the "ability to adapt effectively to the environment, either by making a change in oneself or by changing the environment or finding a new one" (Encyclopædia Britannica). Intelligence tests are often used to quantify human intelligence. This is not without controversy; see below for more information.
Some thinkers have explored the idea of collective intelligence, arising from the coordination of many people. Computer science has developed the field of artificial intelligence, which seeks to make computers act in increasingly intelligent ways. Many people have also speculated about the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence.
Intelligence tests
Intelligence, narrowly defined, can be measured by intelligence tests (see IQ). They are among the most accurate (reliable and valid) psychological tests, but they are not intended to measure creativity, personality, character, or wisdom. Intelligence tests take many forms, but they all measure the same intelligence. The general factor measured by each intelligence test is known as g (see g theory).
Some researchers have proposed that intelligence is not a single quantity or concept, but really consists of a set of relatively independent abilities. Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, for example, breaks intelligence down into the seven different components: logical, linguistic, spatial, musical, kinesthetic, intra-personal and inter-personal intelligences. Daniel Goleman and several other researchers have developed the concept of emotional intelligence and claim it is at least as important as more traditional sorts of intelligence.
Proponents of multiple-intelligence theories often claim that g is, at best, a measure of academic ability. Other types of intelligence, they claim, might be just as important outside of a school setting.
In response, g theorists have argued that multiple intelligences have not been borne out when actually tested[1] and that g actually has a substantial impact on personal affairs, including job performance[2].
Controversies
Researchers in the field of human intelligence have encountered a considerable amount of public concern and criticism; much more than many scientists would be accustomed to or comfortable with. Some of the controversial topics include:
- the relevance of psychometric intelligence to the common sense understanding of the topic
- the importance of intelligence in everyday life
- the genetic and environmental contributions to individual variation in intelligence (see Nature versus nurture).
- differences in average measured intelligence between racial groups and sexes; and the source and meaning of these differences (see Race and intelligence).

Intelligence is also used in a different sense, to describe the process of covertly gathering and analysing otherwise secret information. See espionage, intelligence agencies.
In yet another sense, Business intelligence denotes the public or secret information that an organization obtains about its competitors and market.
Military intelligence is an element of warfare which covers the aspects of gaining information over the enemy forces. It involves spying, look-outs, high-tech survaillance equipement and also secret agents.
