Reviews

'... the text is clear and well-written with many helpful examples... this book should prove useful to students trying to learn about geometric codes.' Zentralblatt fur Mathematik, 884


The text is written in an approachable style. ' So, to learn enough algebraic geometry to understand Goppa's codes, a student could take this book and study it with advantage...gives any student an excellent start' Bulletin London Mathematical Society
