Editorial Reviews

Departing from the norm in texts on the block and convolutional codes used in digital communication systems, the author of (Artech House, 1997) devotes this volume to the theory of error-control block codes and related topics. Assuming a sound knowledge of probability theory, he covers the concepts behind such systems; abstract algebra, vector spaces, and matrices; encoding and decoding of several types of code; transmission of block-coded signals over band-width-constrained channels, and applications of block codes to communication and noncommunciation systems. A first-year graduate course could tackle all the material, while chapters 1-8 and the introduction to Chapter 7 are recommended by Lee (electronics, Macquarie U., Sydney, Australia) for a senior undergraduate course. Appends several statistical appendices. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
