Abstract
Coding theory is the study of error-correcting codes, which are used to transmit digital information in the presence of noise. Their application ranges from deep-space communications to the recovery from packet loss on the Internet. Part of the mathematical backgound, e. g., number theory or algebra over finite fields, has also an impact on complexity theory and cryptography.
