## @deftypefn {Function File} {} roots (@var{v})
##
## For a vector @var{v} with @math{N} components, return
## the roots of the polynomial over a Galois Field
## @tex
## $$
## v_1 z^{N-1} + \cdots + v_{N-1} z + v_N.
## $$
## @end tex
## @ifnottex
##
## @example
## v(1) * z^(N-1) + ... + v(N-1) * z + v(N).
## @end example
## @end ifnottex
##
## The number of roots returned and their value will be determined
## by the order and primitive polynomial of the Galois Field
