Abstract: For any positive integers ngeq3,rgeq1 we present formulae for the number of irreducible polynomials of degree n over the finite field mathbbF2r where the coefficients of xn1, xn2 and xn3 are zero. Our proofs involve counting the number of points on certain algebraic curves over finite fields, a technique which arose from Fourier-analysing the known formulae for the mathbbF2 base field cases, reverse-engineering an economical new proof and then extending it. This approach gives rise to fibre products of supersingular curves and makes explicit why the formulae have period 24 in n.
