[edit] ERROR-CORRECTING CODES AND FINITE FIELDS

This edition is an unabridged reprint of chapters one to 20 of the original hardback edition. It starts with the elementary ideas of parity check codes and goes on to explain the theory of finite fields, BCH and Reed-Solomon codes. The mathematics is developed in parallel with the applications.

This textbook is a reprint of Chapters 1-20 of the original hardback edition. It provides the reader with the tools necessary to implement modern error-processing schemes. The material on algebraic geometry and geometric Goppa codes, which is not part of a standard introductory course on coding theory, has been omitted. The book assumes only a basic knowledge of linear algebra and develops the mathematical theory in parallel with the codes. Central to the text are worked examples which motivate and explain the theory. The book is in four parts. The first introduces the basic ideas of coding theory. The second and third cover the theory of finite fields and give a detailed treatment of BCH and Reed-Solomon codes. These parts are linked by their uses of Eulid's algorithm as a central technique. The fourth part treats classical Goppa codes.
