Harmony Amid Chaos, Drew Schaffner
Harmony Amid Chaos, Drew Schaffner
Pence-Boyce STEM Student Scholarship
We provide a brief but intuitive study on the subjects from which Galois Fields have emerged and split our study up into two categories: harmony and chaos. Specifically, we study finite fields with elements where is prime. Such a finite field can be defined through a logarithm table. The Harmony Section is where we provide three proofs about the overall symmetry and structure of the Galois Field as well as several observations about the order within a given table. In the Chaos Section we make two attempts to analyze the tables, the first by methods used by Vladimir Arnold as …
Gröbner Bases And Systems Of Polynomial Equations, Rachel Holmes
Gröbner Bases And Systems Of Polynomial Equations, Rachel Holmes
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
This paper will explore the use and construction of Gröbner bases through Buchberger's algorithm. Specifically, applications of such bases for solving systems of polynomial equations will be discussed. Furthermore, we relate many concepts in commutative algebra to ideas in computational algebraic geometry.
