The College of Science in the Department of Mathematics discussed a seminar entitled Weight Distribution of Linear codes over the Galois Field of order q for postgraduate student Noor A. Jasem. The seminar aims to explore the theoretical foundations and practical applications of linear codes—an essential component in error detection and correction within modern data communication systems. A central focus of the seminar is the weight distribution of these codes, which refers to the number of code words corresponding to each possible Hamming weight. This distribution is critical in evaluating the error-correcting capability and overall efficiency of a code
