Elements of Algebraic Coding Theory

Coding theory came into existence in the late 1940s and is concerned with devising efficient encoding and decoding procedures.The book is intended as a principal text for first courses in coding and algebraic coding theory, and is aimed at advanced undergraduates and recent graduates as both a course and self-study text. BCH and cyclic, Group codes, Hamming codes, polynomial as well as many other codes are introduced in this textbook. Incorporating numerous worked examples and complete logical p
