Dec 11, 2013 at 18:05	comment	added	BoZenKhaa		Yes, thanks, that does the job exactly! I take it there is probably no built in function for this? I guess not as this is very simple and neat solution already..

Dec 11, 2013 at 17:59	comment	added	bill s		Is this useful? `AlgebraicNumber[1/2 (1 + Sqrt[5]), {-3, 2}] //. 1/2 (1 + Sqrt[5]) -> q`

Dec 11, 2013 at 17:38	comment	added	BoZenKhaa		I have not, thank you! It looks promising, but it also reduces the root the number field is based on.
