Features: This book provides a concise introduction to the mathematical theory of error-correcting codes, which has been established and continuously developed over the past half century due to the reliability requirements of digital communication. The book does not delve into the specific implementation issues of error-correcting techniques and algorithms, but it does introduce some error-correcting decoding algorithms. This book is suitable for graduate students in algebra and senior undergraduate students with a solid foundation in algebra. The knowledge and methods presented in this book will also be helpful for researching many other problems in information science and computer science.
