Abstract

This work provides a method(an algorithm) for solving the solvable unary algebraic equation f(x)=0f(x)=0 (f(x)Q[x]f(x)\in\mathbb{Q}[x]) of arbitrary degree and obtaining the exact radical roots. This method requires that we know the Galois group as the permutation group of the roots of f(x)f(x) and the approximate roots with sufficient precision beforehand. Of course, the approximate roots are not necessary but can help reduce the quantity of computation. The algorithm complexity is approximately proportional to the 4th power of the size of the Galois group of f(x)f(x). The whole algorithm doesn't need to deal with tremendous polynomials or reduce symmetric polynomials.
