Description for Codes and Curves
Paperback. Introduces algebraic geometric coding theory. This book covers linear codes, including cyclic codes, and both bounds and asymptotic bounds on the parameters of codes. Algebraic geometry is introduced, with particular attention given to projective curves, rational functions and divisors. Series: Student Mathematical Library. Num Pages: 66 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: GPF; PBG; PBMW; PBV. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 215 x 151 x 5. Weight in Grams: 108.
When information is transmitted, errors are likely to occur. This problem has become increasingly important as tremendous amounts of information are transferred electronically every day. Coding theory examines efficient ways of packaging data so that these errors can be detected, or even corrected. The traditional tools of coding theory have come from combinatorics and group theory. Since the work of Goppa in the late 1970s, however, coding theorists have added techniques from algebraic geometry to their toolboxes. In particular, by re-interpreting the Reed-Solomon codes as coming from evaluating functions associated to divisors on the projective line, one can see how ... Read more
