Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
30 class hours (= 22.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 90 hours (equivalent to 3 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 67.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Dipl.-Math. Wolfgang Braun
Lecturer: Dipl.-Math. Wolfgang Braun

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will have a basic understanding of the importance and problems of error identification and correction. In addition, they will:
- be able to explain basic terms (redundancy, code rate, generator matrix, check matrix, Hamming distance,
  Hamming limit, _)
- have mastered arithmetics in finite fields of the type GF (p)
- Coding and decoding of linear binary block codes: have an understanding of the theoretical interrelationships
  and have mastered execution by means of matrix calculation
- be able to construct Hamming codes
- be able to classify binary block codes according to their performance capability
- Coding and decoding of cyclic codes via GF (2): have an understanding of the theoretical interrelationships
  and have mastered execution by means of polynomial operations
- have knowledge of coding theory applications in various fields
- be able to implement basic algorithms from the lecture in a common programming language
- have gained insights into how the coding theory can be developed further
- have learned how mathematical theories can be translated into practice-relevant algorithms in computer science

Module content:
- Principle of coding a message for error identification and error correction
- Simple error identification and correction procedures (ISBN No., EAN code, repeat code, 2-dimensional   
  parity, _.)
- The ring of integers, residue classes
- Computations in finite fields GF (p)
- n-dimensional vector spaces over GF (p)
- Linear block codes over GF (2)
- Hamming codes
- Cyclic codes over GF (2)
- Applications and perspectives (ECC-RAM, CRC-32, CIRC, digital TV,
  matrix codes, extension of coding theory by GF (2^n), convolutional codes, _.)
 
The lecture will concentrate on the algebraic methods. A statistical treatment of the transmission channel (e.g. _Entropy_, _Markov sources_), as well as an implementation of the algorithms by means of hardware are not part of this lecture.
