Introduction to Coding and Information Theory (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics)

Rating:
Summary: Concise and well explained
Review: I have used this book in my course of coding theory. In my experience it is enough clear for the students and cover the fundamental material with enough deep from introductory point of view. From this book the reader can continue the study of subject in a more theoretical fashion or in the more applied one. It is a good text book for a introductory course, and I have seen several other books. However I think the author spend so much time in chapter four. The book is well strutured for a one semester course.
