https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separable%20polynomial
In mathematics, a polynomial P(X) over a given field K is separable if its roots are distinct in an algebraic closure of K, that is, the number of distinct roots is equal to the degree of the polynomial. This concept is closely related to square-free polynomial. If K is a perfect field then the two concepts coincide. ...
