gives True if the list representing the powers of a primitive element of the field is used to do field arithmetic, and False otherwise.

MORE INFORMATION

To use , you first need to load the Finite Fields Package using .

is returned unevaluated if f is not a field.

Setting True computes the PowerList of f if it does not yet exist, and enables arithmetic based on FieldExp and FieldInd.

Setting False disables field arithmetic based on FieldExp and FieldInd.
