Having just read Paolo Giordano The Solitude of Prime Numbers, Gaberlunzie's attention was caught by another less frivolous offereing. Developments in the last few decades in digital communications have created a close link between mathematics and areas of computer science and electrical engineering. A collaboration between such areas now seems natural, due to problems which require deep knowledge and expertise in each area.

Algebraic Aspects of Digital Communications  bridges the gap between mathematics, computer science and electrical engineering. Edited by T Shaska and E Hasimaj, and published by IOS Press BV, the paperback is priced at €120.

Algebra and some of its branches, such as algebraic geometry, computational algebra, group theory, etc, have played a special role in such collaboration. As a result, there are now  disciplines such as coding theory and cryptography,  considered a mix of mathematics, computer science and electrical engineering.

The book focuses on the connections between algebra, algebraic geometry, number theory, graph theory and related areas of mathematics, with coding theory and cryptography. It is aimed at mathematicians, computer scientists and engineers, who need to explore ties between algebra, coding theory and cryptography.
