[GAP Forum] representation of Finite Field's element

[xiaolei zhang]

hello.

GAP us a primitive element to generate a finite field, this is good for
computation. But I want to use gap in teaching, so I need some other
representation of element.

say, F2={0,1}， F2[x]/(x^2+x+1) ={0, 1, 1+x, x}

In GAP, can I use the root of x^2+x+1 to represent the element of GF(4)?

thanks
