- In the following: What does the error message mean? Why won't maple
- find the Galois group? A change of variables does work to allow the
- Galois group to be computed, but I don't think I should have to do
- that. (Anyway, how would I know what change of variables would work?)
-
- Environment: Sparcstation running SunOS 4.1.1.
