  Datenkodierung
Department: Faculty 1 - Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Averkov, Gennadiy
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: On special announcement
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:After successfully completing the module, students will know and understand the problems and basics of data coding. They can transfer known facts and procedures of linear algebra to this application field and have learned further concepts of algebra. They know linear codes and understand the meaning of the parameters. They know simple decoding algorithms, can apply them and show their correctness.
Contents:
  • Basics of coding theory
  • Theory of linear codes
  • Examples of linear codes, in particular, Reed-Solomon codes
  • General and specific decoding algorithms
  • Simple Goppa codes
