5/10/2009: Group A: Geometric Probability and Expected Value Group B: Finite fields and their applications in combinatorics and cryptology (Prof. Kirby Baker) Group A:
Here are some HW problems:
10.2.2, 10.2.3
10.3.2, 10.3.4
11.2.1, 11.2.2
Challenge: 10.17, 10.21
Group B: What are finite fields? We'll answer this question and you'll see that you are already familiar with many of them, in a different guise. There are some nice applications that are easy to understand; we'll look at a few.
