This book provides engineers and computer scientists with all the tools necessary to implement modern errorprocessing 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 ReedSolomon codes. The fourth part is devoted to Goppa codes, both classical and geometric, concluding with the SkorobogatovVladut error processor. A special feature is a simplified (but rigorous) treatment of the geometry of curves.
