fieldBaseChange -- a function to compute the base change between GaloisFields

• Usage:

  fieldBaseChange(R, K)

• Inputs:
  • R, a ring, with a GaloisField $L$ as its coefficient ring
  • K, a Galois field, extension of $L$
• Outputs:
  • a sequence, ($T$ ,$f$) where $T = R \otimes_L K$ is the base-changed ring, $f:R\to T$ is the ring map $R\otimes_L L\to R\otimes_L K$ induced from $L\to K$.
