The theory of finite fields is a branch of modern algebra that has come to the fore in the last fifty years because of its diverse applications in such areas as combinatorics, coding theory and the mathematical study of switching circuits. This book, the first one devoted entirely to this theory, provides comprehensive coverage of the literature on finite fields and their applications. Extensive bibliographical notes at the end of each chapter give a historical survey of the development of the subject. Worked examples and lists of exercises found throughout the book make it useful as a text for advanced level courses.
