Galois Fields for NumPy

The `galois` library is a performant Python package that extends NumPy arrays to operate over finite fields (Galois fields) for various mathematical and cryptographic applications. It leverages Numba and LLVM for just-in-time compilation to optimize finite field arithmetic, often outperforming native NumPy operations for modular arithmetic. It supports all Galois fields GF(p^m), offering functionalities for linear algebra, polynomials, forward error correction codes (BCH, Reed-Solomon), and number theoretic functions. Currently at version 0.4.10, the library maintains an active release cadence, with updates typically arriving monthly or bi-monthly.
