Extract

With a view to applications to electrical engineering we have recently calculated the primitive polynomials of degree 2 and 3 modulo various primes. In the course of the work we also obtained all the irreducible polynomials of these kinds and, as an extension of the tables of Church(1), Marsh(2), Peterson(3) and Lloyd(4) we now publish them. Since our primary interest was the exponent to which each polynomial belonged (see Albert(5), p. 130) we group them according to exponent.
