Finite Commutative Rings and Their Applications

Finite Commutative Rings and their Applications answers a need for an introductory reference in finite commutative ring theory as applied to information and communication theory. This book will be of interest to both professional and academic researchers in the fields of communication and coding theory.

The book is a concrete and self—contained introduction to finite commutative local rings, focusing in particular on Galois and Quasi—Galois rings. The reader...
