I really appreciate you sharing this. After a few years in the industry but without a CS degree I've been going through the teachyourselfcs curriculum. I hadn't come across coding theory yet. Where should I start if a lot of the math symbols in your link are lost on me? I know I've used them years ago but I've forgotten.

Thank you, that's a huge help!
