REMARKS ON FINITE FIELDS

  • Published : 1983.10.01

Abstract

It is the purpose of this paper to give some remarks on finite fields. We shall show that the little theorem of Fermat, Euler's criterion for quadratic residue mod p, and other few theorems in the number theory can be derived from the theorems in theory of finite field K=GF(p), where p is a prime. The forms of some irreducible ploynomials over K-GF(p) will be given explicitly.
