Coding Theory was introduced by C. Shannon in 1948 who showed that
a reliable communication is possible as long as the information rate is below the
channel capacity. Coding Theory, also known as the theory of Error-Correcting
Codes, is widely used in phones, compact discs, HD Television, pictures from
satellites, QR codes, etc. From a mathematical point of view, it makes use of
many deep theories from Algebra, Combinatorics, Number Theory, and
Probability.
The aim of Coding Theory Summer School is to educate researchers or graduate
students interested in learning Coding Theory. There will be five lectures on the
introduction to Coding Theory, codes over rings, MAGMA, Algebraic Geometric
Codes, and codes with applications to Cryptography. There will be informal
discussion sessions so that participants can exchange their ideas.
