Abstract: For positive integers $n$, the truncated binomial expansions of $(1+x{)}^n$ which consist of all the terms of degree $ler$ where $1lerlen-2$ appear always to be irreducible. For fixed $r$ and $n$ sufficiently large, this is known to be the case. We show here that for a fixed positive integer $re6$ and $n$ sufficiently large, the Galois group of such a polynomial over the rationals is the symmetric group $S_r$. For $r=6$, we show the number of exceptional $nleN$ for which the Galois group of this polynomial is not $S_r$ is at most $O(logN)$.
