Accompanying Notes
Finite Field/Galois Field: a finite set together with operations + and * with the following properties:
1. The set forms an additive group with neutral element 0
2. The set without 0 forms a multiplicative group with neutral element 1
3. The distributive law $ a(b+c)= (ab)+(ac) $
A finite field exist if and only if it has size $ p^m $ where $ p $is prime and $ m \in \N $
This is to say, there exist a Galois field with 11 elements (11 is prime, m=1) called $ GF(11) $ but you can not construct a Galois field with 12 elements.
