This paper defines and develops cycle indices for the finite classical groups.These tools are then applied to study properties of a random matrix chosen uniformly from one of these groups.Properties studied by this technique will include semisimplicity, regularity, regular semisimplicity, the characteristic polynomial, number of Jordan blocks, and average order of a matrix.
