In field theory, a primitive element of a finite field GF(q) is a generator of the multiplicative group of the field. In other words, α ∈ GF(q) is called a primitive element if it is a primitive (q − 1)th root of unity in GF(q); this means that each non-zero element of GF(q) can be written as αi for some integer i. If q is a prime number, the elements of GF(q) can be identified with the integers modulo q. In this case, a primitive element is also called a primitive root modulo q. For example, 2 is a primitive element of the field GF(3) and GF(5), but not of GF(7) since it generates the cyclic subgroup {2, 4, 1} of order 3; however, 3 is a primitive element of GF(7). The minimal polynomial of a primitive element is a primitive polynomial. (Wikipedia).
Field Theory - (optional) Primitive Element Theorem - Lecture 15
For finite extensions L \supset F we show that there exists an element \gamma in L such that F(\gamma) = L. This is called the primitive element theorem.

Basic/Primitive Extensions and Minimal Polynomials - Field Theory - Lecture 02
A "basic" or "primitive" extension of a field F is a new field F(alpha) where alpha in K an extension of F. We give some basic properties of extensions. Most importantly introduce the concept of minimal polynomials. @MatthewSalomone has some good videos on this already which might be mor

Multisets and a new framework for arithmetic | Data Structures Math Foundations 187
Here we go back to the first videos in this series and recast that discussion in a more solid direction by utilizing our understanding of multisets. The crucial point is to define what a natural number is in a clear way. This issue is far more subtle than is generally acknowledged. For u

Galois theory: Primitive elements
This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Galois theory. We show that any finite separable extension of fields has a primitive element (or generator) and given n example of a finite non-separable extension with no primitive elements.

Sets might contain an element that can be identified as an identity element under some binary operation. Performing the operation between the identity element and any arbitrary element in the set must result in the arbitrary element. An example is the identity element for the binary opera
