Hi, Creating finite fields is described in section 59.3 of the GAP reference manual.
GaloisField(2) (also GF(2)) will get you the field of two elements 0,1. Sandeep. Jianrong Li wrote:
Dear Forum, I want to work over the field F_2 with only two elements 0, 1. 1+1=0. I have matrices with entries 0, 1. The multiplication of the matrices are over F_2. I would like to define the default field as F_2. How could I do that in GAP? I tried DefaultField(Z(2)). But it seems that this doesn't work. Thank you very much. Best wishes, Jianrong. _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@mail.gap-system.org http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
