Trigonometric functions of for
prime have an especially complicated Galois-minimal representation.
In particular, the case
requires approximately 500 MB of space using the
Wolfram Language command Developer`TrigToRadicals[Cos[Pi/23]].
However, they can be expressed concisely as algebraic numbers. For example, letting
denote the
th
root of the polynomial
using the ordering of the Wolfram
Language's Root
function,
is given by
