The dictionary's +format is {p: {n: coefficients}}, where p represents your prime and n your +degree. The tuple of coefficients is returned in ascending order; that is, +the first coefficient (at index zero) is for the constant (degree zero) term. + +This package is an evolution of the SageMath conway_polynomials package +and is maintained by the same team of developers. |
