Added March 2014: A crime it is that the standard topology class does not present Arnold's proof of the insolubility of the quintic using covering spaces and holonomies. Topologists have just as much right to brag about this result as algebraists. The topology proof is shorter and more transparent and fits within the course just as well as the algebra proof fits in the algebra class.
