Critical coding techniques have developed over the past few decades for data storage, retrieval and transmission systems, yet they are rarely covered in the graduate curricula. This book provides new researchers in academia and industry with informal introductions to the basic ideas of these topics, including pointers to further reading.

Ian F. Blake is Honorary Professor in the Departments of Mathematics and Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of British Columbia. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, the Institute for Combinatorics and its Applications, the Canadian Academy of Engineers, and a Life Fellow of the IEEE. In 2000, he was awarded an IEEE Millennium Medal. He received his undergraduate degree at Queen's University and doctorate degree at Princeton University in 1967. He also worked in industry, spending sabbatical leaves with IBM and M/A-Com Linkabit, and working with the Hewlett-Packard Labs from 1996 to 1999. His research interests include cryptography and algebraic coding theory, and he has written several books in these areas.
