Section 3.11, due 24 September 2010

What was the most difficult part of the material for you?
I didn't understand the part about LFSR sequences at all. I'm not even sure what phenomenon from Section 2.11 they're trying to explain.

What was the most interesting part of the material? How does this material connect to something else you have learned in mathematics? How is this material useful/relevant to your intellectual or career interests?
I've taken Math 371 (abstract algebra), so I'm familiar with group (and field) theory, but it seems like it'd be a lot easier to just use fields with p elements instead of trying to make things work for p^n.
