An Introduction to Coding Theory : Lecture Notes

Abstract

These are lecture notes for an advanced undergraduate (and beginning graduate) course in Coding Theory in the Computer Science Department at Bar-Ilan University. These notes contain the technical material covered but do not include much of the motivation and discussion that is given in the lectures. It is therefore not intended for self study, and is not a replacement for what we cover in class. This is a first draft of the notes and they may therefore contain errors. * These lecture notes are based on notes taken by Alon Levy in 2008. We thank Alon for his work. i
