    EMS Textbooks in Mathematics
    Volume: 202017; 226 pp
    MSC: Primary 94; 12

    This book, updated and enlarged for the second edition, is written as a text for a course aimed at third or fourth year graduate students in discrete mathematics, computer science, or communication engineering. Only some familiarity with elementary linear algebra and probability is assumed.

    The book is also a suitable introduction to coding theory for researchers from related fields or for professionals who want to supplement their theoretical basis. The book gives the coding basics for working on projects in any of the above areas, but material specific to one of these fields has not been included. The chapters cover the codes and decoding methods that are currently of most interest in research, development, and application. They give a relatively brief presentation of the essential results, emphasizing the interrelations between different methods and proofs of all important results. A sequence of problems at the end of each chapter serves to review the results and give the student an appreciation of the concepts. In addition, some problems and suggestions for projects indicate direction for further work.

    The presentation encourages the use of programming tools for studying codes, implementing decoding methods, and simulating performance. Specific examples of programming exercises are provided on the book's homepage.

    A publication of the European Mathematical Society (EMS). Distributed within the Americas by the American Mathematical Society.

    Readership

    Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in discrete mathematics, computer science, or communication engineering.
