ENEE 626: Error Correcting Codes A GRADUATE COURSE FOR 1ST & 2ND YEAR STUDENTS IN EE, CS, AMSCSpring 2014, TuTh 2:00-3:15pm 3 CreditsI. How to find a false coin? What is the color of your hat? Basic notions of error correction in noisy channels. Linear codes. Code families reaching Shannon’s limit: Polar codes and LDPC codes. II. How are hard drives protected from errors? Reed-Solomon codes and their decoding(Correct more errors than you can think of) III. How to transmit securely when the channel is tapped? How to create a secret key? What is secret sharing? (Selected problems in cryptography) IV. Sending more information over a network link than the link can carry (Network coding) Prerequisites: Undergraduate Linear Algebra, Probability INSTRUCTOR: Prof. Alexander Barg, abarg@umd.edu Course page: www.ece.umd.edu/~abarg/626
