From time to time, I try to give my non-mathematician scientist friends descriptions of important theorems that I come across.

One friend, watched a video on Galois and now I'm at a loss on how to state to her the Fundamental Theorem of Galois Theory in an intuitive yet mathematically correct manner.

    Boy, are you in problems or what. I highly doubt there's an "intuitive" basic way to describe this theorem without having to use some slightly powerful mathematical terminology, beginning from the most basic notion: fields extension.2012-08-12

    Did the friend *ask* you to state the fund. thm. of Galois theory, or is it your idea to try to describe this theorem just from the friend having watched a video on Galois?2012-08-12

    The friend asked me to describe the theorem, not exactly state it.2012-08-12
