- Judging from what I've read from this newsgroup, this question/problem
- will be beneath most of you, but I desparately need the help of you
- wonderful "mathematics" people :-)
-
- I trying to figure out a nice,systematic algorithm for modulating (?)
- one polynomial by another.
-
- This is going to be (hopefully) part of a computer program. The program
- will hold polynomials modulo an irreducible polynominal.
-
- Example:
- The irreduciable polynomial is x^2 + 1. The user enters x^5 + 4x^3 +
- 3x^2 + 9. What I need is a nice algorithm to find the result of
- this user-entered number modulo the irreducible polynomial...
-
- Sort of like Galois field p^m....
-
- *Any* help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
