Algebraic coding theory is a new and rapidly developing subject, motivated by immediate practical applications, but also fascinatingly rich in mathematical structure. This book provides an elementary yet rigorous introduction to the theory of error-correcting codes.
"This clearly written, error-free book with its good problem sets is well worth considering as a text." --SIAM Review
"Given that the author views coding theory as a branch of mathematics, the book is excellent." --The American Mathematical Monthly
