FromFiniteField
FromFiniteField[a,ff]
converts the element a of the prime subfield of the finite field ff to an integer.
FromFiniteField[expr,ff,t]
converts the elements of the finite field ff in the coefficients of the rational expression expr to polynomials in t, where t represents the field generator.
Details

- FromFiniteField replaces elements
of ff, where α=ff[{0,1}] is the field generator, with polynomials
.
- FromFiniteField goes inside List, Plus, Times and integer Power in expr.
