Abstract:
Solutions of two problems are offered based on the Tschirnhausen transformation. The first problem is connected with the construction of minimal polynomials of the numbers of the form $\operatorname{tg}^2(\pi/n)$ by means of the Tschirnhausen transformation for all natural $n>2$. The second problem consists in finding the exact values of the roots of the equation $x^3-7x-7=0$. The solution of the problem is obtained by considering the fact that the roots of the equation produce the circular field $\mathbb Q_7$. The examples of the construction of minimal polynomials are provided.
Keywords:algebraic numbers, minimal polynomials, circular fields and subfields, Tschirnhausen transformation.
