Theory of Error Correcting Codes Mt461/mt5461

These notes cover the part of the syllabus for MT461/MT5461 that is not part of MT361. Further installments will be issued as they are ready. All handouts and problem sheets will be put on the MT361 Moodle page, marked MSc/MSci. I would very much appreciate being told of any corrections or possible improvements to these notes. You are warmly encouraged to ask questions in lectures, and to talk to me after lectures and in my office hours. I am also happy to answer questions about the lectures or problem sheets by email. My email address is [email protected]. Lecture times: Monday 3pm (MFLEC), Tuesday 3pm (BLT2) and Thurs-day 10am (BLT2). Extra lecture for MT461/MT5461: Thursday noon (ABLT3).
