Handbook of Coding Theory

Janet Beissinger

Join the Cryptokids as they apply basic mathematics to make and break secret codes. This book has many hands-on activities that have been tested in both classrooms and informal settings. Classic coding methods are discussed, such as Caesar, substitution, Vigenère, and multiplicative ciphers as well as the modern RSA. Math topics covered include: - Addition and Subtraction with, negative numbers, decimals, and percentages - Factorization - Modular Arithmetic - Exponentiation - Prime Numbers - Frequency Analysis. The accompanying workbook, The Cryptoclub Workbook: Using Mathematics to Make and Break Secret Codes provides students with problems related to each section to help them master the concepts introduced throughout the book. A PDF version of the workbook is available at no charge on the download tab, a printed workbook is available for $19.95 (K00701). The teacher manual can be requested from the publisher by contacting the Academic Sales Manager, Susie Carlisle

Fundamentals of Error Correcting Codes is an in-depth introduction to coding theory from both an engineering and mathematical viewpoint. As well as covering classical topics, there is much coverage of techniques which could only be found in specialist journals and book publications. Numerous exercises and examples and an accessible writing style make this a lucid and effective introduction to coding theory for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, researchers and engineers, whether approaching the subject from a mathematical, engineering or computer science background.

Fundamentals of Error-Correcting Codes

A complete introduction to the many mathematical tools used tosolve practical problems in coding. Mathematicians have been fascinated with the theory oferror-correcting codes since the publication of Shannon's classicpapers fifty years ago. With the proliferation of communicationssystems, computers, and digital audio devices that employerror-correcting codes, the theory has taken on practicalimportance in the solution of coding problems. This solutionprocess requires the use of a wide variety of mathematical toolsand an understanding of how to find mathematical techniques tosolve applied problems. Introduction to the Theory of Error-Correcting Codes, Third Editiondemonstrates this process and prepares students to cope with codingproblems. Like its predecessor, which was awarded a three-starrating by the Mathematical Association of America, this updated andexpanded edition gives readers a firm grasp of the timelessfundamentals of coding as well as the latest theoretical advances.This new edition features: * A greater emphasis on nonlinear binary codes * An exciting new discussion on the relationship between codes andcombinatorial games * Updated and expanded sections on the Vashamov-Gilbert bound, vanLint-Wilson bound, BCH codes, and Reed-Muller codes * Expanded and updated problem sets. Introduction to the Theory of Error-Correcting Codes, Third Editionis the ideal textbook for senior-undergraduate and first-yeargraduate courses on error-correcting codes in mathematics, computerscience, and electrical engineering.
