Abstract

Introduction [Abbreviated]:

The primary purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate a method for the determination of the Galois group of a polynomial equation with coefficients in a finite field. The problem of finding the Galois group of an arbitrary equation, where the coefficient field is either finite or infinite, is neither new nor unsolved.
