Description

Book Synopsis
Uses finite field theory as a hook to introduce the reader to a range of ideas from algebra and number theory. The book constructs all finite fields from scratch and shows that they are unique up to isomorphism.

Table of Contents
  • Primes and factorization
  • Primes in the integers
  • Congruences in rings
  • Primes in polynomial rings: Constructing finite fields
  • The additive and multiplicative structures of finite fields
  • Understanding the structures of $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$
  • Combinatorial applications of finite fields
  • The AKS primality test
  • Synopsis of finite fields
  • Bibliography
