1. Prove that the only nontrivial automorphism of the field C of the complex
numbers that preserves the subfield of the real numbers (do not change
the real numbers) R is the complex conjugation z 7! z.

3. Find the solutions of the equations: z 3 = i; z 4 = 1; z n = 1 + i.
4. Find the solutions z1 , z2 , . . . zn of the equation z n = 1. Find the product
z1 z2 . . . zn simply multiplying the roots zi . Can you find the same product
in some other, simpler way?
