3.11

The finite fields are kind of neat in this chapter since you can divide by any of the numbers from [1,(p-1)] mod p. I really didn't understand what they were going over in the book. Maybe it was just a little too long winded, or maybe it was just confusing. I kind of got lost after the first few things about the properties of a vield and the X polynomial.
