Berlekamp Elwyn R. Key Papers in The Development of Coding Theory

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 1974. — 288 p. — ISBN: 0879420316.Coding theory, a branch of applied mathematics, provides the essential tools and techniques to maintain the integrity of complex data while transmitting them over noisy channels. Without these techniques most communication channels would not function at an acceptable level. The far-reaching applications include radio, television, telephone, writing and reading CDs, and data transmission from space.
