I am having trouble dealing with lists of elements from finite fields.
To save some time I use the following:
SetFieldFormat[GF[2], FormatType -> FunctionOfCoefficients[gf2]]
So, GF2[2][[2,1]]=gf2[0], and GF2[2][[2,2]]=gf2[1].
Now if I have {gf2[1],0}=={gf2[1],0}, this evaluates to True. But, if the sides are not equal, like {gf2[1],0}=={gf2[1],gf2[1]}, then this evaluates to {gf2[1],0}=={gf2[1],gf2[1]} and not False.
It works fine if I use the basic notation GF[2][[2,1]] instead of gf2[1], but that is a lot more to type and so I was hoping to find a way to get it to work with the formatting.
