Wikipedia definition
2. Finite fieldIn abstract algebra, a finite field or Galois field (so named in honor of Évariste Galois) is a field that contains a finite number of elements. Finite fields are important in number theory, algebraic geometry, Galois theory, cryptography, coding theory and Quantum error correction. The finite fields are classified by size; there is exactly one finite field up to isomorphism of size p for each prime p and positive integer k.
