Course description and aims

This course provides fundamental concepts of coding theory: algebraic structures including group, ring and field and linear codes defined as subspaces over Galois fields.
The aim of this course is to acquire the basic ideas of algebraic structures as well as introduction of algebraic coding theory.

Student learning outcomes

To acquire the following abilities to:
1) understand the algebraic structure of the group, ring, and body, and explain them with specific examples .
2) understand the basic knowledge of linear codes and design typical binary linear codes.
3) be able to design, encode and decode BCH codes and Reed-Solomon codes.

Keywords
