May 16, 2023 · How would you find a primitive root of a prime number such as 761? How do you pick the primitive roots to test? Randomly? Thanks

Jan 6, 2019 · If I had to guess, I would say that calling the antiderivative as primitive is of French origin. Is one term more popular than the other?

I'm trying to understand what primitive roots are for a given $\bmod\ n$. Wolfram's definition is as follows: A primitive root of a prime $p$ is an integer $g$ such ...

Jul 23, 2018 · So I encountered this proof on a Number Theory book, I will link the pdf at the end of the post (proof at page 96), it says: "Every prime has a primitive root, proof: Let p be a prime and let m be a

I think you may be hoping for more of an insight, but "primitive notion" simply means a syntactic element that appears in the Axioms with no definition in terms of simpler elements. We have to start …

Sep 1, 2015 · I have read that, but essentially what I want to know is, can a primitive root be defined in a simpler, easier to understand way? For my level of mathematics, some of the more formal definitions …

Mar 7, 2018 · Let $p$ be an odd prime, let $g$ be a primitive root of $p$. Prove $-g$ is a primitive root of $p$ if and only if $$p\\equiv1\\pmod{4}$$ Hint: express $-g$ as $g^{k ...

There is another example of a non-primitive-recursive but total computable function that explains better what the restricted definition of primitive recursion entails. Each primitive recursive function is defined …

Dec 8, 2013 · This is hard. To see how hard,have a look at this paper: Finding primitive elements in finite fields of small characteristic.

Jul 14, 2016 · What do you call "primitive polynomial over a finite field" to, please? Could it be you actually meant "irreducible"?
