In mathematics, more specifically field theory, the degree of a field extension is a rough measure of the "size" of the field extension. The concept plays an important role in many parts of mathematics, including algebra and number theory — indeed in any area where fields appear prominently. (Wikipedia).
Field Theory: Let F be a subfield of the field K. We consider K as a vector space over F and define the degree of K over F as the dimension. We give a degree formula for successive extensions, and consider extensions in terms of bases. EDIT: Typo - around 3:15, it should be cube root(2

FIT2.3.3. Algebraic Extensions
Field Theory: We define an algebraic extension of a field F and show that successive algebraic extensions are also algebraic. This gives a useful criterion for checking algberaic elements. We finish with algebraic closures.

Galois theory: Field extensions
This lecture is part of an online course on Galois theory. We review some basic results about field extensions and algebraic numbers. We define the degree of a field extension and show that a number is algebraic over a field if and only if it is contained in a finite extension. We use thi

Field Theory: We consider the case of simple extensions, where we adjoin a single element to a given field. The cases of transcendental and algebraic arise, depending on whether the kernel of the evaluation map is zero or not. In the algebraic case, we define the minimal polynomial, show

Let L contain K which contains F where all extensions are finite. In this video we prove [L:F] = [L:K][K:F]. This is a super useful formula.

Field Definition (expanded) - Abstract Algebra
The field is one of the key objects you will learn about in abstract algebra. Fields generalize the real numbers and complex numbers. They are sets with two operations that come with all the features you could wish for: commutativity, inverses, identities, associativity, and more. They

Visual Group Theory, Lecture 6.4: Galois groups
Visual Group Theory, Lecture 6.4: Galois groups The Galois group Gal(f(x)) of a polynomial f(x) is the automorphism group of its splitting field. The degree of a chain of field extensions satisfies a "tower law", analogous to the tower law for the index of a chain of subgroups. This hints

Visual Group Theory, Lecture 6.5: Galois group actions and normal field extensions If f(x) has a root in an extension field F of Q, then any automorphism of F permutes the roots of f(x). This means that there is a group action of Gal(f(x)) on the roots of f(x), and this action has only on
