Synopsis
Based on the authors' teaching experiences, this book provides a thoroughly modern introduction to the coding theory - a subject of central importance for many applications in engineering and computer science. There are numerous examples and exercises, some of which introduce students to novel or more advanced material., Coding theory is concerned with successfully transmitting data through a noisy channel and correcting errors in corrupted messages. It is of central importance for many applications in computer science or engineering. This book gives a comprehensive introduction to coding theory whilst only assuming basic linear algebra. It contains a detailed and rigorous introduction to the theory of block codes and moves on to more advanced topics like BCH codes, Goppa codes and Sudan's algorithm for list decoding. The issues of bounds and decoding, essential to the design of good codes, features prominently. The authors of this book have, for several years, successfully taught a course on coding theory to students at the National University of Singapore. This book is based on their experiences and provides a thoroughly modern introduction to the subject. There are numerous examples and exercises, some of which introduce students to novel or more advanced material., Concerned with successfully transmitting data through a noisy channel, coding theory can be applied to electronic engineering and communications. Based on the authors' extensive teaching experience, this text provides a completely modern and accessible course on the subject. It includes sections on linear programming and decoding methods essential for contemporary mathematics. Numerous examples and exercises make the volume ideal for students and instructors.

    I appreciate the speed with which Whattaplace shipped my order to me. Regretfully the item was lost somewhere in the shipment process. I also liked the asking price as well. I dialogued with the vendor, about the item not showing up when expected. They got right back to me, and said they'd refund the purchase price (which they did). I was to watch for the item if it got delivered. I'd notify Whattaplace of that. I'd recommend this vendor & would buy from them again.
