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.

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.
