Principal form of a polynomial

This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: The English of this article is very poor and makes the article almost not understandable, even for specialists. Moreover, the mathematics terminology is generally not the usual one, and when it is usual, it is not linked to the WP article where it is defined. Please help improve this article if you can.

In mathematics and, more specifically, in theory of equations, the principal form of an irreducible polynomial of degree at least three is a polynomial of the same degree n without terms of degrees n−1 and n−2, such that each root of either polynomial is a rational function of a root of the other polynomial.

The principal form of a polynomial can be found by applying a suitable Tschirnhaus transformation to the given polynomial.
