Faculty Mentor: Steven Leonhardi

 

Coding theory is used in satellite communication, CDs, DVDs, cellphones, credit cards,   ATM machines, Universal Product Codes (UPC) and anywhere an error may occur in transmission of data. We will give several examples of codes including Hamming Codes. We will also discuss methods used for error detection and error correction. We will be able to see the applications of Linear Algebra, Number Theory and Abstract Algebra in this presentation.
