Abstract
The feedback shift register can be used as an educational tool in the study of many problems including: finite state machine properties, convolution, digital filtering, correlation, and sums of random variables. These applications are briefly described, it is argued that some of these concepts which have continuous analogs are better understood initially in discrete form.
