3.11 due on September 24

1. I did pretty well understanding until 3.11.3 the LFSR Sequences, no comprende! I am still trying wot work out normal LFSR Sequences. I think I am getting hung up on the notation with the original and now they throw in all this other matrix notation with P(X) stuff, and I can't keep it straight.

2. I thought the addition and multiplication operations of GF(2^8) really interesting. It reminded me of linear algebra taking the coefficients and then XOR them. The idea of modding polynomials is a bit tripping but cool as well.

Sorry this is late. I started this post Wed night and ran out of time, so I saved the draft meaning to come back and finish it later. Since I had went through the action of blogger, my mind kind of checked it off, and I forgot that it needed to be finished.
Also now after doing the homework, I have a better understand how the LFSR works, so 1 is really not so relevant now.
