Abstract: Abstract Coding Theory deals with the design and properties of error-correcting codes for the reliable transmission of information across noisy channels in transmission lines and storage devices. The aim of Coding Theory is to find codes which transmit and decode fast, contain many valid code words, and can correct, or at least detect, many errors. These aims are mutually exclusive, however; so, each application has its own good code.
