The Mathematics of Errors: With Applications In Cryptography, Physics, Digital Information, Computing, And

The Mathematics of Errors provides a comprehensive treatment of the mathematics of errors, with applications in cryptography, physics, digital information, and computing. It is written for researchers and graduate students in these fields, and assumes a basic understanding of mathematics. The book covers a wide range of topics, including:

• The foundations of error correction and detection
• Coding theory and its applications in cryptography
• The mathematics of information theory and its applications in digital communication
• The mathematics of data compression and its applications in digital storage
• The mathematics of computing and its applications in error-correcting codes.

The book is divided into five parts. The first part provides an to the mathematics of errors, including the basic concepts of probability and information theory. The second part covers coding theory and its applications in cryptography. The third part covers the mathematics of information theory and its applications in digital communication. The fourth part covers the mathematics of data compression and its applications in digital storage. The fifth part covers the mathematics of computing and its applications in error-correcting codes.
