Section 3.11, Due September 24

Difficult: I've had Modern Algebra already, so most of this section is review. I did get a bit lost following the discussion of LFSR Sequences in part 3.11.3. I think this arose from mixing in the linear algebra with the polynomial group. Truthfully, I think I have it worked out now though.

Reflective: Though this was a review for me, I feel it actually cleared up some Abstract Algebra for me. Galois fields have always been a struggle for me, but this section explained them differently than I have seen before and I think it helped me to get a better handle on what is going on.
