Reviews
'... masterfully provides a comprehensive treatment of both traditional codes as well as new and most promising coding families and decoding algorithms ...' Bane Vasic, University of Arizona
' an excellent, unique, and valuable contribution to the teaching of the subject.' Ian Blake, University of British Columbia
'A highly readable introduction into the theory of block codes, including classical code constructions, an extensive treatment of LDPC codes, with emphasis on quasi-cyclic constructions, and an introduction to polar codes. Recommended for a beginning graduate course in coding, with enough material for either one or two semesters. Numerous examples and problems make the book very student friendly.' Daniel Costello, University of Notre Dame
'The book truly explains these highly mathematical subjects to a level that can be accessed and applied with as little background in mathematics as possible. It provides step-by-step explanation of all covered topics, both more theoretical or applied, and includes sufficient illustrative examples to assist understanding.' Nikolay Yankov, zbMATH
