Line 1: '''Coding theory''' deals with the properties of [[code]]s and thus with their fitness for an specific application. The aim of coding theory is to find codes which transmit fast, contain many valid [[code word]]s and can correct or at least detect many errors. These aims are mutually exclusive however, so each application has ~~it's~~its own perfect code. The needed properties of this code mainly depend on the probability of errors happening during transmission. The term '''algebraic coding theory''' denotes the sub-field of coding theory where the properties of codes are expressed in algebraic terms and then further researched.
