Springer Undergraduate Mathematics: Codes: An Introduction to Information Communication and Cryptography (Paperback)

Many people do not realise that mathematics provides the foundation for the devices we use to handle information in the modern world.

Most of those who do know probably think that the parts of mathematics involved are quite 'cl- sical', such as Fourier analysis and di?erential equations.

In fact, a great deal of the mathematical background is part of what used to be called 'pure' ma- ematics, indicating that it was created in order to deal with problems that originated within mathematics itself.
