Pretzel, Oliver![Codes and Algebraic Curves](https://support.digitalhusky.com/media/annotations/sorted/226/22671854/CHSBZCOP0322671854.jpg)
A fascinating branch of mathematics since antiquity, the geometry of curves has been extensively developed and become highly abstract. Recently links have been made with the subject of error correction, leading to the creation of geometric Goppa codes, a new and important area of coding theory. This book is an expanded and updated version of one part of the author's successful book Error-Correcting Codes and Finite Fields. Here he gives an ele...
