The first edition of this book was very well received and is considered to be one of the classical introductions to the subject of discrete mathematics- a field that is still growing in importance as the need for mathematiciansand computer scientists in industry continues to grow. The opening chapter is a memory-refresher reviewing the prerequisite mathematical knowledge. The body of the book contains two parts (five chapters each): a rigorous mathematically oriented first course in coding theory, followedby introductions to special topics; these can be used as a second semester, as supplementary reading, or as preparation for studying the literature. Among the special features are chapters on arithmetic codes and convolutional codes, and exercises with complete solutions.

Review:

From the reviews: "This is a new edition of a well-known and widely used book of van Lint. We can only applaud for the new appearance. [...] I think this textbook will continue to be one of the most favourite textbooks of coding theory."

Acta Scient.Math. 67, p.882, 2001

From the reviews: "The 2nd (slightly enlarged) edition of the van Lint's book is a short, concise, mathematically rigorous introduction to the subject. Basic notions and ideas are clearly presented from the mathematician's point of view and illustrated on various special classes of codes...This nice book is a must for every mathematician wishing to introduce himself to the algebraic theory of coding." European Mathematical Society Newsletter, 1993 "Despite the existence of so many other books on coding theory, this present volume will continue to hold its place as one of the standard texts...." The Mathematical Gazette, 1993
