New Section: Linear Equations mod 2

The next version of Applied Discrete Structures will include a new section, 12.6, on systems of linear equations over \(\mathbb{Z}_2\).   We work with these systems in the coding theory section (15.5) but it was presumed that students could figure out how to solve these systems on the fly.  That is often the case, but some students had difficulties.

A pdf of the most recent draft of the new section is available at https://discretemath.org/Section_12_6_V2.pdf
