Let $f_n(x)=\sum_{j=0}^n a_jx^j$ be the Taylor polynomials of a power series with nonzero rational coefficients. We study the proportions of degrees for which the Galois group over $\Q$ is symmetric, alternating, or neither. We prove that the set of degrees $n\geq3$ with symmetric group can be chosen arbitrarily, even for an entire function with positive rational coefficients whose Taylor polynomials have distinct negative real roots. More precisely, at each degree $n\geq3$, $f_n$ has exactly one rational root, and the group on the other roots is the full symmetric group. Thus the…
