Jan 6, 2019 · While antiderivative, primitive, and indefinite integral are synonymous in the United States, other languages seem not to have any equivalent terms for antiderivative. As others …

Jun 6, 2016 · 2 Primes have not just one primitive root, but many. So you find the first primitive root by taking any number, calculating its powers until the result is 1, and if p = 13 you must …

9 What is a primitive polynomial? I was looking into some random number generation algorithms and 'primitive polynomial' came up a sufficient number of times that I decided to look into it in …

Sep 1, 2015 · I have read that, but essentially what I want to know is, can a primitive root be defined in a simpler, easier to understand way? For my level of mathematics, some of the …

Sep 18, 2019 · @darijgrinberg yes, sorry, this part was proven in the text I am reading, which then asks you to show there are exactly $\phi (p-1)$ primitive roots. I should have made that clearer.

Aug 29, 2019 · I'm reading David R. Finston and Patrick J. Morandi's book Abstract Algebra: Structure and Application and in section 7.2 page 109 it mentions It’s true that every finite field …

I thought $\varphi (12)$ counts the number of coprimes to $12$.. Why does this now suddenly tell us the number of primitive roots modulo $13$? How have these powers been plucked out of …
