Free Download Introduction to Coding Theory and Algebraic Geometry by Jacobus H. Lint Gerard Geer English | PDF | 1988 | 82 Pages | ISBN : 3034899793 | 8.1 MB These notes are based on lectures given in the semmar on "Coding Theory and Algebraic Geometry" held at Schloss Mickeln, Diisseldorf, November 16-21, 1987. In 1982 Tsfasman, Vladut and Zink, using algebraic geometry and ideas of Goppa, constructed a seqeunce of codes that exceed the Gilbert-Varshamov bound. The result was
