polynom finite field

Post by tompickles »

Hi all,

I am trying to typeset a long division of polynomials over F_2[X]..i.e. coefficients in a finite field (modulo 2)

I am currently using polynom to display very nicely the division, but it uses the real numbers, so that the results are not mod 2.

Is there a way to either change the field that latex does the calculations over, or another way to typeset this?

Thanks in advance.
