COMMENTS

The degree of the n-th polynomial is A023022(n), the half-totient function for n>2. These polynomials are integral, monic and irreducible over the integers. Hence 2*cos(2*Pi/n) is an algebraic integer. When n is prime, the n-th row is the same as the n-th row of A066170. Carlitz and Thomas give an algorithm for computing these polynomials.
