Construction and Decoding of Algebraic Geometry Codes

Algebraic geometry codes have recently been the subject of a great deal of research. This area finds important applications in electronic engineering and computer science as well being of interest to mathematicians. Ruud Pellikaan has written a book that sets out the current state of the art in this subject for graduate students or researchers. The book covers a range of decoding algorithms as well as giving explicit constructions for codes. He has taken care to make it accessible to those from an engineering background as well as to mathematicians.Pellikaan, Ruud is the author of 'Construction and Decoding of Algebraic Geometry Codes', published 2008 under ISBN 9780521817110 and ISBN 0521817110.
