The '''Galois group''' is a mathematical structure ([[Group (mathematics)|group]]) associated to an [[field extension|extension of field]]s. Given two fields E and F where F (the "base field") is contained in E (the "extension field"), we define Gal(E/F) to be the set of [[automorphism]]s of E which fix F. The Galois group of a [[polynomial]] f over a field F is the Galois group associated to F(α) where α is a [[root]] of f. The group obtained does not depend on the choice of root.
