Abstract
In this chapter and the next, we study finite fields, which play an important role in the applications of field theory, especially to coding theory, cryptology and combinatorics. For a thorough treatment of finite fields, the reader should consult the book Introduction to Finite Fields and Their Applications, by Lidl and Niederreiter, Cambridge University Press, 1986.
