Abstract
Of the monic integer polynomials with , how many have associated Galois group that is not the full symmetric group ? There are clearly such polynomials, as may be obtained by setting . In 1936, van der Waerden conjectured that should in fact also be the correct upper bound for the count of such polynomials. The conjecture has been known previously for degrees , due to work of van der Waerden and Chow and Dietmann. The purpose of this paper is to prove van der Waerden's Conjecture for all degrees .
