In mathematics, a Tschirnhaus transformation is a type of mapping on polynomials. It may be defined conveniently by means of field theory (mathematics), as the transformation on minimal polynomials implied by a different choice of primitive element (field theory). This is the most general transformation of an irreducible polynomial that takes a root to some rational function applied to that root. In detail, let ''K'' be a field, and ''P''(''t'') a polynomial over ''K''. If ''P'' is irreducible, then :''K''[''t'']/(''P''(''t'')) = ''L'', the quotient ring of the polynomial ring ''K''[''t''] by the principal ideal generated by ''P'', is a field extension of ''K''. We have :''L'' = ''K''(α) where α is ''t'' modulo (''P''). That is, α is a primitive element of ''L''. There will be other choices β of primitive element in ''L'': for any such choice of β we will have :β = ''F''(α), α = ''G''(β), with polynomials ''F'' and ''G'' over ''K''. In fact this follows from the quotient representation above. Now if ''Q'' is the minimal polynomial for β over ''K'', we can call ''Q'' a Tschirnhaus transformation of ''P''. Therefore the set of all Tschirnhaus transformations of an irreducible polynomial is to be described as running over all ways of changing ''P'', but leaving ''L'' the same. This concept is used in reducing quintics to Bring-Jerrard form, for example. There is a connection with Galois theory, when ''L'' is a Galois extension of ''K''. The Galois group is then described (in one way) as all the Tschirnhaus transformations of ''P'' to itself. Polynomials Field theory
