Concise encyclopedia of coding theory (Relié)

Most coding theory experts date the origin of the subject with the 1948 publication of A Mathematical Theory of Communication by Claude Shannon. Since then, coding theory has grown into a discipline with many practical applications, from data storage and transmission to computer networks, using mathematical techniques ranging from commutative algebra, to semi-definite programming, to algebraic geometry.
