Notations Z 2 and Z 2 {\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} _{2}} may be encountered although they can be confused with the notation of 2-adic integers. The bitwise AND is another operation on this vector space, which makes it a Boolean algebra, a structure that underlies all computer science. When n is itself a power of two, the multiplication operation can be nim-multiplication; alternatively, for any n, one can use multiplication of polynomials over GF(2) modulo a irreducible polynomial (as for instance for the field GF(2 8) in the description of the Advanced Encryption Standard cipher). These spaces can also be augmented with a multiplication operation that makes them into a field GF(2 n), but the multiplication operation cannot be a bitwise operation. This vector space will have a basis, implying that the number of elements of V must be a power of 2 (or infinite).

The flight departs London, Heathrow terminal «4» on January 29, 09:30 and arrives Manama/Al Muharraq, Bahrain on January 29, 19:10. If the elements of GF(2) are seen as boolean values, then the addition is the same as that of the logical XOR operation. In the latter case, x must have a multiplicative inverse, in which case dividing both sides by x gives x = 1. For example, matrix operations, including matrix inversion, can be applied to matrices with elements in GF(2) ( see matrix ring). F is countable and contains a single copy of each of the finite fields GF(2 n); the copy of GF(2 n) is contained in the copy of GF(2 m) if and only if n divides m.If your GF2 flight was cancelled or you arrived to Bahrain with a delay of 3 hours or more, you are entitled to 600€ in compensation, according to the EC 261/2004 regulation.

The multiplication of GF(2) is again the usual multiplication modulo 2 (see the table below), and on boolean variables corresponds to the logical AND operation. All larger fields contain elements other than 0 and 1, and those elements cannot satisfy this property). GF(2) can be identified with the field of the integers modulo 2, that is, the quotient ring of the ring of integers Z by the ideal 2 Z of all even numbers: GF(2) = Z/2 Z. GF(2) is the unique field with two elements with its additive and multiplicative identities respectively denoted 0 and 1.
