The book is aimed at advanced undergraduates, [1] [2] assuming only an introductory-level of abstract algebra and some knowledge of linear algebra. [1] Its coverage of recent research also makes it useful as background reading for researchers in this area.
Graduate Texts in Mathematics (GTM) (ISSN 0072-5285) is a series of graduate-level textbooks in mathematics published by Springer-Verlag. The books in this series, like the other Springer-Verlag mathematics series, are yellow books of a standard size (with variable numbers of pages).
A monic irreducible polynomial of degree n having coefficients in the finite field GF(q), where q = p t for some prime p and positive integer t, is called a primitive polynomial if all of its roots are primitive elements of GF(q n). [2] [3] In the polynomial representation of the finite field, this implies that x is a primitive element.
A finite plane of order n is one such that each line has n points (for an affine plane), or such that each line has n + 1 points (for a projective plane). One major open question in finite geometry is: Is the order of a finite plane always a prime power? This is conjectured to be true.
In mathematics, the classification of finite simple groups (popularly called the enormous theorem [1] [2]) is a result of group theory stating that every finite simple group is either cyclic, or alternating, or belongs to a broad infinite class called the groups of Lie type, or else it is one of twenty-six exceptions, called sporadic (the Tits group is sometimes regarded as a sporadic group ...

The ATLAS of Finite Groups, often simply known as the ATLAS, is a group theory book by John Horton Conway, Robert Turner Curtis, Simon Phillips Norton, Richard Alan Parker and Robert Arnott Wilson (with computational assistance from J. G. Thackray), published in December 1985 by Oxford University Press and reprinted with corrections in 2003 (ISBN 978-0-19-853199-9).
