class contains utility methods for performing mathematical operations over
 the Galois Fields. Operations use a given primitive polynomial in calculations.</p>

 <p>Throughout this package, elements of the GF are represented as an <code>int</code>
 for convenience and speed (but at the cost of memory).</p>

 <p>The size of the GF is assumed to be a power of two.</p></div>
