calculus - Why is antiderivative also known as primitive . . . At least in the United States, it seems that antiderivative is the more prevalent term although primitive does still get used It seems that primitive is commonly used abroad While antiderivative, primitive, and indefinite integral are synonymous in the United States, other languages seem not to have any equivalent terms for antiderivative
Finding a primitive root of a prime number $\begingroup$ Finding primitive roots is generally difficult For $761$, there are exactly $\phi(\phi(761)) = \phi(760) = \phi(2^3\times 5\times 19) = 2^2\times 4\times 18 = 288$ primitive roots, so you have about a 3 8 change of picking a primitive root by picking one at random

What is a primitive root? - Mathematics Stack Exchange I sometimes find it helpful to think of primitive roots as akin to logarithms that is, a way to change multiplication into addition For example, let's consider powers of $3$ mod$(17)$ They are: $$\{3,9,10,13,5,15,11,16,14,8,7,4,12,2,6,1\}$$ We note there are $16$ distinct values, so $3$ is indeed a primitive root mod$(17)$
Find all the primitive roots of - Mathematics Stack Exchange So you find the first primitive root by taking any number, calculating its powers until the result is 1, and if p = 13 you must have 12 different powers until the result is 1 to have a primitive root If you tried a number a that wasn't a primitive root then don't try it's powers but some other number
Primitive polynomials - Mathematics Stack Exchange $\begingroup$ @DonAntonio: Primitive polynomial has a standard meaning in the context of finite fields A polynomial is said to be primitive, if its zero generates the multiplicative group of the extension field Makes them useful in building discrete logarithm tables and such applications $\endgroup$ –
