Using an original mode of presentation, and emphasizing the computational nature of the subject, this book explores a number of the unsolved problems that still exist in coding theory. A well-established and highly relevant branch of mathematics, the theory of error-correcting codes is concerned with reliably transmitting data over a noisy channel. Despite frequent use in a range of contexts, the subject still contains interesting unsolved problems that have resisted solution by some of the most prominent mathematicians of recent decades.

This book explores several unsolved problems in coding theory. Employing Sage - a free open-source mathematics program - to illustrate ideas, the book can serve as supplementary reading material in a graduate course on coding theory, or as a self-study text.
