Note that the generator matrix for the dual code is PT, and the parity check matrix for the dual code is GT. (I accidentally switched those in class.)

If you’re curious, the pictures of Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn sent using linear codes are on page 543.

If you choose, you can turn in the last two assignments by Thursday at 4pm. Note, however, that the best way to learn the material is to do the assignment, and the material is fair game for the exam.
