- calculus - Why is antiderivative also known as primitive . . .
While antiderivative, primitive, and indefinite integral are synonymous in the United States, other languages seem not to have any equivalent terms for antiderivative As others have pointed out here How common is the use of the term "primitive" to mean "antiderivative"?, some languages such as Dutch only use the term, primitive
- Finding a primitive root of a prime number
How would you find a primitive root of a prime number such as 761? How do you pick the primitive roots to test? Randomly? Thanks
- elementary number theory - Find all the primitive roots of $13 . . .
2 Primes have not just one primitive root, but many 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
- What are primitive roots modulo n? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
The important fact is that the only numbers $n$ that have primitive roots modulo $n$ are of the form $2^\varepsilon p^m$, where $\varepsilon$ is either $0$ or $1$, $p$ is an odd prime, and $m\ge0$

- What is a primitive polynomial? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
9 What is a primitive polynomial? I was looking into some random number generation algorithms and 'primitive polynomial' came up a sufficient number of times that I decided to look into it in more detail I'm unsure of what a primitive polynomial is, and why it is useful for these random number generators
- Show that $2$ is a primitive root modulo $13$.
Hence $2$ has order $12$ modulo 13 and is therefore a primitive root modulo $13$ Now note all even powers of $2$ can't be primitive roots as they are squares modulo $13$ $ (*)$
- Prove that there are exactly $\phi (p-1)$ primitive roots modulo a . . .
@darijgrinberg yes, sorry, this part was proven in the text I am reading, which then asks you to show there are exactly $\phi (p-1)$ primitive roots I should have made that clearer
