in terms of Galois Theory this tiny note in the appendix of an information theory textbook is the only thing that gave me a dictionary-level grasp of what galois theory even is

Mackay is so fucking good at explaining things. 

@the-axiom-of-hope idk if this is relevant to what you’re looking at it’s just a brief intro but the code transmission context may still be illuminating even if you’re working on advanced stuff 

Thank you!

Very cool! Good/different perscpectives on math exposition always very very appreciated
