Polynomial Modulo

Polynomial modulo is a mathematical operation where you take a polynomial—an expression with variables and coefficients—and find its remainder when divided by another polynomial. Think of it like traditional division: instead of numbers, you're dividing polynomials. The result, called the remainder, has a degree less than the divisor polynomial. This concept is useful in areas like coding theory and cryptography, enabling efficient computations and error detection, by essentially “wrapping around” polynomial values within a specified boundary defined by the divisor polynomial.
