GF[p,d]
gives the Galois field that is a degree d extension of the prime field of p elements.
GF[q]
gives the Galois field with q elements, for q a prime power.
GF[p,ilist]
represents the Galois field with prime characteristic p and an irreducible polynomial whose coefficient list is given by ilist.
