Russell Blyth: It made more sense last year when the
workshop was
mid-July!
Steve Hennagin: sound and picture Ok
Linda Sundbye: Good morning
Nikolaus Vonessen has joined this chat.
John Vogt has joined this chat.

Russell Blyth: I guess we should have updated to "Enjoy
July!"
Kathryn Weld has joined this chat.
Janet Mills: Morning!
Dorothy Zeiser has joined this chat.
Russell Blyth: Did the "A" not work out?
Dorothy Zeiser: good morning
Donna Nonnenkamp: The URL for Quicktime is
rtsp://165.134.240.35/
video0702am1.sdp vnc is the same as yesterday 165.134.131.41
Madeleine Gregoire: "A" did not work out for me.
Steve Hennagin: Can you increase the font size on your gap
screen?
9:55 AM
Juli Rainbolt: Not that I know of - let me check something
Michael Engquist has joined this chat.
Michael Engquist: Good Morning!
Steve Hennagin: Ok, I'm oer 40 so a little bigger would
help. Obviously
I've been doing fine all week
Nora Strasser: I may be knocked off sometime this morning
since they
are still working with the network.
Robert Quinn has left this chat.
Donna Nonnenkamp: Thanks for letting us know Nora....keep us
updated
Michael Engquist: What are id's for VNC and Quickktime?
10:00 AM
Nikolaus Vonessen: I cannot get vnc to work this morning.
Russell Blyth: Hang on
Linda Sundbye: vnc has closed on me twice.
Russell Blyth: We're playing with resolutions
Russell Blyth: It seems to have knocked VNC off
Russell Blyth: Try VNC now
Russell Blyth: Quit first if necessary
Russell Blyth: GAP font should look larger
Juli Rainbolt: we changed the resolution on vnc so that GAP
font should
look larger - better?
Russell Blyth: URLs:
Donna Nonnenkamp: rtsp://165.134.240.35/video0702am1.sdp
Donna Nonnenkamp: for quicktime and 165.134.131.41 for vnc
Joanne Redden has left this chat.
Steve Hennagin: Thank you.
Janet Mills: The whole screen is just smaller on mine. GAP
is not
bigger.
Robert Quinn has joined this chat.
Robert Quinn: thanks
Nikolaus Vonessen: vnc works again, resolution is the same
as before.
Joanne Redden has joined this chat.
Blake Boursaw has joined this chat.
Susan Pustejovsky has joined this chat.
Susan Pustejovsky: hello
Maria Fung has joined this chat.
Russell Blyth: hi
Maria Fung: hi
Donna Nonnenkamp: You may have to change the resolution on
your
individual computers . The larger the values the smaller gap
will
appear.
Donna Nonnenkamp: rtsp://165.134.240.35/video0702am1.sdp
Donna Nonnenkamp: for quicktime and vnc is 165.134.131.41
Russell Blyth: Good morning!
Russell Blyth: Any questions
Richard Wagner has joined this chat.
Russell Blyth: Hi
Richard Wagner: hi
Russell Blyth: URLs:
Donna Nonnenkamp: rtsp://165.134.240.35/video0702am1.sdp
Russell Blyth: Any questions?
10:05 AM
Donna Nonnenkamp: and 165.134.131.41
Donna Nonnenkamp: for vnc
Nikolaus Vonessen: I had trouble with 13A.6. The poly g(x)
is not
irreducible.
Russell Blyth: Yes, I'm going to address that
Russell Blyth: Thanks for your email
Steve Hennagin: How to get the Galois Group for a polynomial
over
Rationals?
10:10 AM
Juli Rainbolt: Any further comments?
Maria Fung: I'm getting no sound
Donna Nonnenkamp: Maria - try restarting quicktime again
Maria Fung: ok better
Nikolaus Vonessen: Sure. But what is alpha now? Just any
root of g(x)?
10:20 AM
Russell Blyth: G= { 1, sigma, tau, sigma*tau}
Russell Blyth: sigma*tau(w) = w^15 = w^7
Russell Blyth: since sigma(w) = w and tau(w) = w^5
10:25 AM
Michael Engquist: Can you scan the white board so we can see
everything?
Russell Blyth: tom is doing that now - ok?
Michael Engquist: thanks
Russell Blyth: tau(w^2) = w^2
10:35 AM
Russell Blyth: Q(w+w^7+w^11+w^17+w^43+w^49+w^53+w^59)
extension over Q = 2
Russell Blyth: that is "degree of extension" not "extension"
Russell Blyth: Q(w+w^55) sets between Q and Q(w+...+w^59)
10:40 AM
Steve Hennagin: could you put a comment at this place in the
log with
Print("14.10"); or some such?
10:45 AM
Russell Blyth: Q(w+w^29) <------> < phi_29: w --> w^29>
Nikolaus Vonessen: Can we ask GAP to tell us the Galois
group of
CF(60) over a specific subfield?
Russell Blyth: changing tapes - QT will change to am2.sdp
Juli Rainbolt: Questions?
Nikolaus Vonessen: You forgot a parenthesis when defining
the galois
group.
10:50 AM
Nikolaus Vonessen: It actually works.
Juli Rainbolt: Yes, it works!
Donna Nonnenkamp: rtsp://165.134.240.35/video0702am2.sdp
Russell Blyth: QT is back up
Russell Blyth: thanks nikolaus
Donna Nonnenkamp: Section 15 next
Steve Hennagin: It would help if you can put Print("Section
15"); in the
gap log
10:55 AM

Steve Hennagin: what about diagonal reflections?
Steve Hennagin: diagonal reflections on the square
