Polynomials Irreducible by Eisenstein's Criterion

Applicable Algebra in Engineering, Communication and Computing Aims and scope

Abstract.

We compute the probability for a monic univariate integer polynomial to be irreducible by Eisenstein's Criterion. In particular, it follows that less than 1% of the polynomials with at least seven non-zero coefficients are irreducible by Eisenstein.
