Coding theory
Coding theory
is the study of the properties of
codes
and their fitness for a specific application. Codes are used for
data compression
,
cryptography
,
error-correction
and more recently also for
network coding
. Codes are studied by various scientific disciplines—such as
information theory
,
electrical engineering
,
mathematics
,
linguistics
, and
computer science
—for the purpose of designing efficient and reliable
data transmission
methods. This typically involves the removal of redundancy and the correction (or detection) of errors in the transmitted data.
