Concise encyclopedia of coding theory - Grand Format

Most coding theory experts date the origin of the subject with the 1948 publication of A Mathematical Theory of Communication by Claude Shannon. Since then, coding theory has grown into a discipline with many practical applications, from data storage and transmission to computer networks, using mathematical techniques ranging from commutative algebra, to semi-definite programming, to algebraic geometry.
Features : suitable for students and researchers in a wide range of mathematical disciplines ; contains many examples and references ; most topics take the reader from an introduction to the frontiers of research.
