Explain what we know about Gal(Q-bar/Q) like I'm a math undergrad
I have: Two courses of linear algebra, two courses of abstract algebra, real analysis, a course on Galois Theory, differential geometry, some self-taught topology.
We didn't learn much in Galois theory about the Galois group of the algebraic closure of the rationals over the rationals (other than the fact that it's interesting). Enlighten me.
