Foundations of Coding (ePub)

Offers a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental

operations

This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental
structures and applications of a wide range of contemporary coding
operations. This text focuses on the ways to structure information
so that its transmission will be in the safest, quickest, and most
efficient and error-free manner possible. All coding operations are
covered in a single framework, with initial chapters addressing
early mathematical models and algorithmic developments which led to
the structure of code. After discussing the general foundations of
code, chapters proceed to cover individual topics such as notions
of compression, cryptography, detection, and correction codes. Both
classical coding theories and the most cutting-edge models are
addressed, along with helpful exercises of varying complexities to
enhance comprehension.

* Explains how to structure coding information so that its
transmission is safe, error-free, efficient, and fast

* Includes a pseudo-code that readers may implement in their
preferential programming language

* Features descriptive diagrams and illustrations, and almost 150
exercises, with corrections, of varying complexity to enhance
comprehension

Foundations of Coding: Compression, Encryption,
Error-Correction is an invaluable resource for understanding
the various ways information is structured for its secure and
reliable transmission in the 21st-century world.
