this section didn’t seem too confusing. i think that means that i don’t actually get it. it seems easy enough, but i will definitely need to see examples and learn about it in class so that i really do understand it. i also don’t really see how this could help with encoding/decoding.
i thought the laws for GF(4) were pretty interesting. i really enjoy using different fields that have different laws. sometimes they can be confusing and hard to remember, but these laws are different than any of the ones i’ve ever learned about. i wonder how these laws came about—was it because someone decided that those were the laws or did someone notice the laws? math is so crazy and so interesting.
