What is Galois field?
In [[abstract algebra]], a '''finite field''' or '''Galois field''' is a [[field (mathematics)|field]] that contains only finitely many elements. Finite fields are important in [[number theory]], [[algebraic geometry]], [[Galois theory]], [[cryptography]], and [[coding theory]]. The finite fields are completely known. Finite fields were named Galois Fields to honor [[Évariste Galois]]. {{math-stub}} [[Category:Algebraic geometry]]
