§6.5: Highlight: Fooling ${\mathbb F}_2$-polynomials

Recall that a density $\varphi$ is said to be $\epsilon$-biased if its correlation with every ${\mathbb F}_2$-linear function $f$ is at most $\epsilon$ in magnitude. In the lingo of pseudorandomness, one says that $\varphi$ fools the class of ${\mathbb F}_2$-linear functions:
