Book Description
This book provides engineers and computer scientists with all the tools necessary to implement modern error-processing techniques. It 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 first part 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. The fourth part is devoted to Goppa codes, both classical and geometric, concluding with the Skorobogatov-Vladut error processor. A special feature is a simplified (but rigorous) treatment of the geometry of curves.
Synopsis
This student edition is an unabridged reprint of chapters one to 20 of the original hardback edition. The material on albegraic geometry and geometric Goppa codes, which is not part of a standard introductory course on coding theory, has been omitted. The book starts with the elementary ideas of parity check codes and goes on to explain the theory of finite fields, BCH and Reed-Solomon codes. All the necessary mathematics is developed in parallel with the applications. While not sacrificing rigour, it provides a simple step-by-step approach based on worked examples. This work should be of interest to third-year undergraduate and postgraduate students electrical engineering, computer science, and mathematics. It will also be of interest to telecommunication companies. |
