Galois Theory
Cardinality refers to the number of elements in a set, providing a measure of the size or count of that set. In the context of fields, especially finite fields, cardinality plays a crucial role in understanding the structure and properties of these mathematical constructs, indicating how many distinct elements exist within a given field. This concept directly influences operations such as addition and multiplication within the field and affects the characteristics of polynomial equations defined over these fields.
