Synopsis

This book is an introduction to one of the main topics of modem combinatorics the theory of combinatorial designs and emphasises its applications in coding theory. Combinatorial designs have been intensively studied recently because of their numerous applications in various branches of science: statistical planning of experiments, pattern recognition, construction of optimal error-correcting codes and the provision of reliability in the transmission of digital information.

This book is addressed to students and researchers in discrete mathematics, and to researchers from other areas wishing to learn about combinatorial designs and their applications. The treatment of codes will also be of interest to engineers working on data protection. A minimal mathematical background, requiring familiarity only with a standard undergraduate curriculum, is assumed.
