Several famous scientific discoveries are good examples of bisociations, for instance Isaac Newton's theory of gravitation and James C. Maxwell's theory of electromagnetic waves.
text: In 1964, Arthur Koestler proposed a theory of general creativity wherein he outlined the process of bisociation and explained its importance with respect to originality. The phenomenon of bisociation involves the intermingling or bringing together of two or more unconnected matrices of thought.

text: 1958 [Chelsea Publishing Company], Hans J. Zassenhaus, The Theory of Groups, 2013, Dover, unnumbered page,
A field with a finite number of elements is called a Galois field.
The number of elements of the prime field k contained in a Galois field K is finite, and is therefore a natural prime p.
text: The case of most interest to us will be that in which F is a finite field, the Galois field GF(q) for some prime power q. If q is prime, this field is #92;mathbb#123;Z#125;#95;q, the integers 0,1,#92;dots,q-1 with arithmetic modulo q.
