===Covariants of a binary quintic===
 
The algebra of invariants of a quintic form was found by Sylvester and is generated by invariants of degree 4, 8, 12, 18. The generators of degrees 4, 8, 12 generate a polynomial ring, which contains the square of theHermite's generatorskew invariant of degree 18. The invariants are rather complicated to write out explicitly: Sylvester showed that the generators of degrees 4, 8, 12, 18 have 12, 59, 228, and 848 terms often with very large coefficients. {{harv|Schur|1968|loc=II.9}} {{harv|Hilbert|1993|loc=XVIII}} The ring of covariants is generated by 23 covariants, one of which is the [[canonizant]] of degree 3 and order 3.
