I need to search for primitive polynomials of degree n over finite fields GF(q), where q is a PRIME POWER. I have major difficulties doing that, especially when I wish to fix one of the coefficients of the polynomial. On the other hand, polynomials over GF(p) pose no problem. Does anybody have any experience in this? PLEASE HELP!

Hi, guys could you please let me know how I can find this definite integral through Maple? int(exp(-I*x)/cosh(x)^3,x=-infinity..infinity); or int(exp(-I*x)/cosh(x)^2,x=-infinity..infinity); thanks a lot Sayed

I'm going through Francis Wright's COMPUTING WITH MAPLE. c2002, and based on Maple6. can anyone explain the reason for the output that I get just for the last statement alone dealing with the change of base for logarithms ? >

I would like to construct a maplet to evaluate different objects in general relativity, say for example , metric,covaliant derivative and so on. Please help me with the procedure or a sample maplet.
