Dear Forum,
I am new to GAP and trying hard to come up to speed with all the GAP
documentation.
In particular I can't figure out which functions are available to set up and
solve the following (rather simple) problem:
Consider the a finite field over n elements over a polynomial, for example,
the field Z_2[X]/<x^2+x+1>. Find the elements and give the addition and
multiplication tables.
(I have no problem solving this "by hand" (or using Mathematica), but I
can't seem to figure how to get the job done in GAP)
Thank you for any specific solution or even pointers to the GAP functions
that I should be using.
