| Apr 22, 2022 at 2:27 | comment | added | fr_andres | I didn't read either version, and I can see how my post implies that Abel used Galois theory in his solution. Thanks for the remark | |
| Apr 21, 2022 at 11:32 | comment | added | Carl-Fredrik Nyberg Brodda | Abel also did not use Galois theory, or field extensions, or anything of the sort, in his proof! | |
| Apr 21, 2022 at 11:32 | comment | added | Carl-Fredrik Nyberg Brodda | Abel’s paper was very short as he paid for the publication fees himself, and was impoverished at the time. He later published a longer version. | |
| Nov 7, 2021 at 21:42 | comment | added | fr_andres | Fair enough. I was thinking chronollogically and not considering elementary proofs that came afterwards. My bad | |
| Nov 7, 2021 at 21:24 | comment | added | 5th decile | My comment is intended to argue that your answer does not give an example where the elementary proof is long or tedious. | |
| Nov 7, 2021 at 17:55 | comment | added | fr_andres | Nice! feel free to edit that into the answer, and thanks a lot for sharing | |
| Nov 7, 2021 at 16:38 | comment | added | 5th decile | Did V. Arnold not give a nice elementary exposition to the insolubility of the 'general' quintic (i.e. without pinning a concrete quintuple of coefficients)? web.williams.edu/Mathematics/lg5/394/ArnoldQuintic.pdf | |
