Primitive Element Sign Video

Definition
Let K be a field extension of a field F. An element alpha that generates K/F, i.e., such that K=F(alpha), is called a primitive element for the extension. Primitive elements are useful because computation in F(alpha) can be done easily, provided that the irreducible polynomial for alpha over F is known.
