Extract

Let q = pn, p a rational prime, and let be the finite field with q elements. The polynomial ring is considered as an analogue of the ring of rational integers ℤ. Completing the quotient field with respect to the normalized valuation at ∞, and then taking algebraic closure, we obtained the field k whose elements will be called “numbers”.
