| Apr 17, 2011 at 3:57 | comment | added | KConrad | On a related topic, see exercises 18--22 on pp. 290--291 of Lang's Undergraduate Algebra (3rd edition), especially the remark after exercise 18 for context. If you want to find this on Google books, search for the phrase "most people" in the book, which is part of the remark. Those exercises concern the field degree of a field extension obtained by adjoining to a field $F$ several $n$-th roots of elements of $F$, and in practice one often finds a "random" sum of numbers algebraic over a field is a primitive element for the extension generated by all of those numbers. | |
