Introduces a number of important classes of error-detecting and error-correcting codes as well as their decoding methods. Background material on modern algebra is presented where required. The role of error-correcting codes in modern cryptography is treated as are data compression and other topics related to information theory. The definition-theorem proof style used in mathematics texts is employed through the book but formalism is avoided wherever possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCODING AND INFORMATION THEORY.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Coding and Decoding.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Huffman Codes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Data Compression and Entropy.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Reliable Communication Through Unreliable Channels.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e ERROR-CORRECTING CODES.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Binary Linear Codes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Groups and Standard Arrays.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Linear Algebra.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Linear Codes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Reed-Muller Codes: Weak Codes with Easy Decoding.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Cyclic Codes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Polynomials and Finite Fields.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e BCH Codes: Strong Codes Correcting Multiple Errors.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Fast Decoding of BCH Codes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Convolutional Codes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e CRYPTOGRAPHY.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Cryptography.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendices.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Bibliography.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e List of Symbols.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402645643607,"sku":"9780471621874","price":190.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780471621874.jpg?v=1730481093","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/foundations-of-coding-9780471621874","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
