We highly recommend it to anyone interested in modern coding theory, as it covers a broad range of current topics with reasonable depth and clarity. This book would be particularly valuable for professors teaching graduate or specialized courses on coding theory, providing a solid foundation and extensive resources for both teaching and further study. The book remains an excellent resource and a highly engaging read. Its comprehensive coverage and clear explanations make it a significant contribution to the field, and it will undoubtedly be a valuable asset for both students and educators alike. In summary, Blake's work stands out as a pivotal text that not only enhances understanding but also fosters a deeper appreciation for the complexities and innovations in coding theory.'

This book surveys the basic ideas of these coding techniques, which tend not to be covered in the graduate curricula, including pointers to further reading. Written in an informal style, it avoids detailed coverage of proofs, making it an ideal refresher or brief introduction for students and researchers in academia and industry who may not have the time to commit to understanding them deeply. Topics covered include fountain codes designed for large file downloads; LDPC and polar codes for error correction; network, rank metric, and subspace codes for the transmission of data through networks; post-quantum computing; and quantum error correction. Readers are assumed to have taken basic courses on algebraic coding and information theory.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e 1.
