Summary
Decoding the Secrets: Codes and Algebraic Curves
The captivating geometry of curves has intrigued mathematicians for millennia, evolving into a highly abstract field. Recent connections to error correction have spurred the creation of geometric Goppa codes, a significant advancement in coding theory.
This book, updated and expanded from a section of “Error-Correcting Codes and Finite Fields,” provides an accessible introduction to Goppa codes. It’s filled with examples, calc…
