What are...normal and separable extensions?

Goal. Explaining basic concepts of (a classical course in) algebra in an intuitive way. This time. What are...normal and separable extensions? Or: Linear factors matter Disclaimer. Nobody is perfect, and I might have said something silly. If there is any doubt, then please check the references. Nonsense. On the “No multiple roots” slide, the derivative should start with na_nX^(n-1).
