The second volume of this work contains Parts 2 and 3 of the "Handbook of Coding Theory". Part 2, "Connections", is devoted to connections between coding theory and other branches of mathematics and computer science. Part 3, "Applications", deals with a variety of applications for coding.
1999 ...This is an extraordinary collection of survey articles to almost all aspects of coding theory written by experts in the field. The authors have taken a broad perspective on their topics, and, by interacting with other authors, have often established links between the chapters. Open problems are often identified, and many chapters bring the reader to the frontiers of research. Each chapter provides an extensive bibliography that will be a tool to extend the development of that chapter. It is defintely a must for every library. -- Zentralblatt fur Mathematik, vol. 905
