===The Galois group of a polynomial - a basic example===
As an example,  let us look at the second-degree polynomial <math>x^2-5</math>, with the coefficients {-5,0,1} viewed as elements of Q.
This polynomial has no roots in Q.  However, from the [[fundamental theorem of algebra]] we know that it has exacly two roots in C, and can be written as the product of two first-degree polynomials there - i.e. <math>x^2-5 = (x-r_0)(x-r_1), r_0, r_1 \in  C</math>.  From direct inspection of the polynomial we also realize that <math>r_0 = -r_1</math>.
L = <math>\lbrace a+b r_0, a,b \in Q  \rbrace </math> is the smallest subfield of C that contains Q and both <math>r_0</math> and <math>-r_0</math>.
The are exactly 2 automorphisms of L that leave every element of Q alone: the do-nothing automorphism <math>\phi_0: a+b r_0  \rightarrow a + b r_0 </math> and the map <math>\phi_1 : a+b r_0  \rightarrow a - b r_0</math>.
Under composition of automorphisms,  these two automorphisms together form a group  isomorphic to <math>S_2</math>,  the group of permutations of two objects.
The sought for Galois group is therefore <math>S_2</math>, which has no nontrivial subgroups.
The 3 requirements (explained below) for the Galois correspondence to exist happen to be fullfilled,  so we we conclude from the subgroup structure of <math>S_2</math> that there is no intermediate field extension containing K and also roots of the polynomial.
