:::: Absolutely right. I forgot to mention it in arithmetic in Fp² . It seemed evident due to the mentioned analogy R/C Fp/Fp² . Nevertheless -1 -3ω seems to be as valid as -1 -3i, even if i has no value in R .--[[User:G.Brougnard|G.Brougnard]] ([[User talk:G.Brougnard|talk]]) 01:12, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
::::: It's a valid value, it's just not equal to -92 - 16ω if ω is not an integer. (And ω is not an integer if ω² is not a square - which the algorithm guarantees.)
::::: So the problem I am left with is: how do I make this algorithm work? It's got this big "magic goes here" specific example that I am somehow supposed to generalize from, but the example itself doesn't make sense. So I have no idea how to make this work.
::::: At this point, I am not even sure if it can be made to work. (In fact, when I look at http://people.math.gatech.edu/~mbaker/pdf/cipolla2011.pdf I see the same kind of mistake, for example on page 3, in computing the fourth power expression.) --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 01:42, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
