A General Method for Establishing Geometric Inequalities in a Triangle
Razvan Alin Satnoianu · American Mathematical Monthly · 2001
q can be any prime power. The material necessary to see this can be found in [3]. A different approach to finite field arithmetic can be found in [4]. The latter approach takes less space, but the table approach is faster, once the table is constructed. And it is very easy to implement. We have not addressed the question of existence and constructability of primitive polynomials. Existence can be shown rather easily using M6bius inversion in number theory [1, Theorem 16.9]. They can be constructed using Conway polynomials [2].
