The geometry of curves has fascinated mathematicians for 2500
years, and the theory has become highly abstract. Recently links
have been made with the subject of error correction, leading to the
creation of geometric Goppa codes, a new and important area of
coding theory. This book is an updated and extended version of the
last part of the successful book Error-Correcting Codes and Finite
Fields. It provides an elementary introduction to Goppa codes, and
includes many examples, calculations, and applications. The book is
in two parts with an emphasis on motivation, and applications of
the theory take precedence over proofs of theorems. The formal
theory is, however, provided in the second part of the book, and
several of the concepts and proofs have been simplified without
sacrificing rigour.
