Jul 31, 2010 · 9 What is a primitive polynomial? I was looking into some random number generation algorithms and 'primitive polynomial' came up a sufficient number of times that I decided to look into …

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

Jun 26, 2024 · 1 Based on the comments, a primitive central idempotent is a central idempotent that cannot be written as a sum of two central orthogonal idempotents. If we define that a primitive …

The only information that i can find on the wikipedia page is [Ackermann's function] grows faster than any primitive recursive function and is therefore not primitive recursive Which isn't a good example of …

Mar 23, 2019 · Could you please help me solve the following problem? 2 is a primitive root mod 19. Using this information, find all solutions to x^12 ≡ 7 (mod 19) and x^12 ≡ 6 (mod 19) I think I would …

Sep 25, 2025 · Def 1: A primitive $n$ -th root of unity is an $n$ -th root of 1 that is not an $m$ -th root of 1 for any proper divisor $m$ of $n$. This definition seems different from what I have seen elsewhere.

Another method to show the "only if " direction is to use the fact that the trace of $\zeta_n$ is equal to zero if n is not square free, while by definition, the trace of $\zeta_n$ in this case is exactly the same …
