I received my Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1998 and I have been teaching since then at SUNY Oneonta for 1 year, at Shepherd University for 5 years, at Tennessee Tech for 2 years, at Lane College for 1 year, and this year I taught at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. My research interests include Representation Theory and Combinatorics.

Down votes seem to disappear and "Add to my favorites" is showing instead.

The order of 1 in any finite field (that I tried) created by GF is NULL. For example,

F:=GF(3,2):
use F in order(one) end;

It should be 1.

Answering to that question, I posted several procedures finding minimal polynomials for the elements of finite fields. The best one was the following,

alias(a=RootOf(T^100+T^97+T^96+T^93+T^91+T^89+T^87+T^86+T^82+T^81+T^71+T^70+T^67+T^61+
T^60+T^57+T^54+T^53+T^52+T^49+T^48+T^45+T^44+T^42+T^39+T^36+T^33+T^32+T^31+T^29+T^28+T^27+
T^26+T^24+T^23+T^22+T^18+T^17+T^16+T^14+T^13+T^12+T^10+T^8+T^7+T^6+T^3+T+1)):

F:=GF(2,100,op(a)):
z:=F:-input(2):

MinPolyGF:=proc(x,y:=_X)
local A, i;
A:=Matrix(100,...

Following Christopher2222 request, I wrote the following procedures for "exact" cubic Hermite spline interpolation,

p:=proc(x0,p0,m0,x1,p1,m1,x)
local t,d;
d:=x1-x0;
t:=(x-x0)/d;
p0+(d*m0+(3*(p1-p0)-d*(2*m0+m1)+(2*(p0-p1)+d*(m0+m1))*t)*t)*t
end:

pb:=proc(x0,p0,x1,p1,m1,x)
local t,d;
d:=x1-x0;
t:=(x-x0)/d;
p0+(2*(p1-p0)-d*m1+(p0-p1+d*m1)*t)*t
end:

pe:=proc(x0,p0,m0,x1,p1,x...
