How to calculate log or exp of a value in GF(2^n) using log/exp table of GF((2^k)^m) where n...

Efficient algorithms to compute in finite fields are based on Conway polynomials. Such algorithms are implemented in several computer algebra systems, for example in GAP. For details, see e.g. the cha …

Fixed space of the square of a symmetric matrix over $\mathbb{F}_2$

As Geoff Robinson has already said, the answer to the question is no. In dimension $4$, there are in total $120$ counterexamples, of which $96$ have kernel of dimension $1$, and $24$ have kernel of di …
