Learn Galois Fields for Great Good! (Part 00)

2025-06-21

This series provides a gentle introduction to Abstract Algebra, focusing on Galois Fields (finite fields) and their applications in computer science. The author addresses the lack of accessible resources for computer scientists, offering a step-by-step approach with practical Rust code examples. Topics covered will include Reed-Solomon codes, AES encryption, and more. The focus is on understandability, not optimization, making it ideal for those new to the subject.
