Coding theory has grown into a discipline with many practical applications requiring various mathematical techniques in the last few decades. Most topics covered in this book are presented in short sections at an introductory level and progress from basic to advanced level, with definitions, examples, and many references.

Using an original mode of presentation, and emphasizing the computational nature of the subject, this book explores a number of the unsolved problems that still exist in coding theory.
