For $n \in \mathbb { N } ^ { * }$, construct a matrix $M \in S _ { n } ( \mathbb { Q } )$ for which $\cos \left( \frac { 2 \pi } { n } \right)$ is an eigenvalue. (One may begin by constructing an orthogonal matrix with coefficients in $\mathbb { Q }$ that admits $e ^ { 2 i \pi / n }$ as an eigenvalue.)
