text ‹The following theorem is a slightly generalized form of the formula discovered by
Gauss for the number of monic irreducible polynomials over a finite field. He originally verified
the result for the case when @{term "R"} is a simple prime field.
The version of the formula here for the case where @{term "R"} may be an arbitrary finite field can
be found in Chebolu and Min{\'a}{\v{c}}~\<^cite>‹"chebolu2010"›.›

text ‹In the following an explicit analytic lower bound for the cardinality of monic irreducible
polynomials is shown, with which existence follows. This part deviates from the classic approach,
where existence is verified using a divisibility argument. The reason for the deviation is that an
analytic bound can also be used to estimate the runtime of a randomized algorithm selecting an
irreducible polynomial, by randomly sampling monic polynomials.›
