A good mathematical model of a physical situation leads to improved understanding. A good model must be robust and it must be predictive anticipating results that can be verified by experiment. This book shows engineers how to construct or choose such models and how to solve them numerically. These are important tasks in practical engineering.

Provides a foundation in the field of error control codes, leading the student step by step through this complex topic, beginning with single parity code checks and repetition codes. Throughout, there are many examples and complex mathematical proofs are omitted to keep the text concise.
