This project examines isomorphism matrices between two representations, a single extension and a composite representation, of a given finite field. The construction of the isomorphism matrices is discussed and the distribution of the Hamming weights of the matrices is examined. A program which was written for constructing these matrices using the ZEN library will be included.
