Description

This original monograph investigates several unsolved problems that currently exist in coding theory. A highly relevant branch of mathematical computer science, the theory of error-correcting codes is concerned with reliably transmitting data over a 'noisy' channel. Despite its fairly long history and consistent prominence, the field still contains interesting problems that have resisted solution by some of the most prominent mathematicians of recent decades.

Employing SAGE-a free open-source mathematics software system-to illustrate ideas, this book is intended for graduate students and researchers in algebraic coding theory, especially those who are interested in finding some current unsolved problems. Familiarity with concepts in algebra, number theory, and modular forms is assumed. The work may be used as supplementary reading material in a graduate course on coding theory or for self-study.


Reviews

From the reviews:

"This book presents a good number of unsolved problems for those who are interested in the mathematics of the theory of error-correcting codes. It will also be of interest to coding-theorists interested in knowing how to use SAGE to do certain computations with error-correcting codes. ... Overall, the book is a treat for coding-theorists in both theoretical and practical aspects." (Bal Kishan Dass, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 i)

"This is a book for mathematicians interested in learning, in a pleasant and instructive way, some main topics of coding theory. It is also a book for coding theorists interested in learning the program SAGE to perform computations with error-correcting codes. ... the book is interesting and enjoyable to read, and offers a good opportunity to learn about some of the most fascinating aspects of the mathematical theory of codes. It is also a good source for learning SAGE in a useful and entertaining way." (Carlos Munuera, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1239, 2012)

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
