GaloisField -- the class of all Galois fields

Functions and methods returning a Galois field:

• GF(Ring) -- see GF -- make a finite field
• GF(ZZ) -- see GF -- make a finite field
• GF(ZZ,ZZ) -- see GF -- make a finite field

Methods that use a Galois field:

• ambient(GaloisField) -- corresponding quotient ring
• describe(GaloisField) -- see describe -- real description
• dim(GaloisField) -- see dim(Ring) -- compute the Krull dimension
• flattenRing(GaloisField) -- see flattenRing -- write a ring as a (quotient of a) polynomial ring
• isField(GaloisField) -- see isField -- whether something is a field
• isFinitePrimeField(GaloisField) -- see isFinitePrimeField -- whether a ring is a finite prime field
• map(GaloisField,GaloisField) (missing documentation)
• precision(GaloisField) -- see precision

For the programmer
