Apr 11, 2016 at 12:37 comment added Pranjal Dutta There is one problem. First of all we want to generate it 'randomly'. In order to that that if we take $a_0,..,a_n$ and take minimal poly of $a_0 \alpha + ..$ complexity of finding the minimal poly will increase very much (because the degree and coeffs will be much larger) .
Apr 11, 2016 at 0:35 comment added Gerry Myerson The polynomial $x-17$ has exactly one root in the specified field, and while the polynomial may not be random, its root is (see, e.g., prasoondiwakar.com/wordpress/trivia/17-is-the-random-number).
Apr 10, 2016 at 21:28 comment added Dror Speiser Take a basis of $\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)/\mathbb{Q}$ (say $1,\alpha,...$), choose rationals $a_0,a_1,...$ randomly somehow, and return the minimal polynomial of $a_0+a_1\alpha+...$. This polynomial will have a root in $\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)$. Note that it might have more than one root, depending, for example, on the galois group of $\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)/\mathbb{Q}$.
