22.1-22.2, due on December 6

Difficult:
    Learning the content wasn't so difficult, but I have no idea what motivated using phi and psi to calculate a Galois group.

Reflective:
    I find it interesting that a result that is supposed to be important and far reaching, namely the fundamental theorem of Galois theory, relies on such a difficult operation, namely finding Galois groups of polynomials, to be applied directly.
