8/28    which class @Cal teaches BCH, linear, Hamming, Reed Solomon, cyclic,
        and others? Thanks.
        \_ ee12x?
        \_ ee229 is the only one that comes to mind, although i'm pretty sure
           it isn't guaranteed to cover coding stuff in-depth. there's a
           special topics ee290 taught occasionally on coding theory. but
           only occasionally.
                \_ CMU and MIT have these classes frequently, why not Cal?
                   \_ Pretty simple -- coding theory is more in fashion on
                      the east coast. We just never picked up faculty with
                      pointed interests in coding theory and not much else.
                      There are areas which are more in fashion on this
                      coast, and you'll see the inverse effect. E.g. I hear
                      MIT has no established CS group working on quantum stuff.
                   \_ Why do you think?
                   \_ real schools vs cal?  hahahahahhahaaa
                      \_ Ingrate. You had a chance to get a world-class
                         education at Cal. If you missed it, that's your fault.
                         The fact that your buddies from high school also
                         got into Cal ugrad and had the same chance (and
                         probably also missed it) doesn't detract from Cal's
                         standing.
                         \_ Uh oh here come the Cal Fascista Bears!  I got a
                            world class education but I'm not stupid enough to
                            believe that someone somewhere else didn't get an
                            even better one.  I'm glad you love your school and
                            have 'school loyalty' and all that crap but out in
                            the real world MIT >> Cal and for good reasons.
