Abstract

Based on a criterion due to Kneser, we present new results for the degree of field extensions generated by finitely many radicals. We also improve an algorithm given by Zippel for computing a basis for such an extension field. This algorithm may be effectively used by computer algebra systems to normalize expressions involving radicals.
