... • Q is not complete: limits that “ought” to exist in Q fail to do so, e.g., 2. • Q is not algebraically closed: polynomials that “ought” to have solutions in Q fail to do so, e.g., X 2 + 1. The smallest complete field containing Q is the real numbers R. But R is not algebraically closed, e.g., X 2 + ...

... coefficients pj , he was able to show that R is a symmetric function of the roots, and hence that R1/m must assume exactly m different values as the roots are permuted. Moreover, since there are 5! = 120 permutations of the roots and m is a prime, it followed that m = 2 or m = 5, the case m = 3 havi ...
