Additional work of substance will be assigned by Prof. Song beyond the work done by students in section E13. Restriction(s): Restricted to MS:App Mth-Actuarial Sci -UIUC.
45118	Lecture-Discussion	ECC	2:00PM -2:50PM	MWF	Altgeld Hall	Duursma, I	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/16/18-05/02/18 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Error-Correcting Codes Section Info: Topic:Error-Correcting Codes See http://www.math.uiuc.edu/timetable/ for the full course description. Prerequisite: Linear Algebra In this course we discuss the mathematical principles that allow information to be stored or transmitted reliably in the presence of errors. A variety of methods is presented that cover a wide range of current applications, including cloud storage and data transfer over networks. Results from combinatorics, graph theory and algebra will be introduced and then used to construct codes and to analyse code performance. Topics include algebraic decoding of Reed-Solomon codes, probabilistic decoding of codes on graphs, trellis decoding of convolutional codes, codes for distributed storage, multicast network coding, belief propagation for low-density parity-check codes, and secure codes for channels with eavesdroppers.
