From the reviews: "This book presents a good number of unsolved problems for those who are interested in the mathematics of the theory of error-correcting codes. It will also be of interest to coding-theorists interested in knowing how to use SAGE to do certain computations with error-correcting codes. ... Overall, the book is a treat for coding-theorists in both theoretical and practical aspects." (Bal Kishan Dass, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 i) "This is a book for mathematicians interested in learning, in a pleasant and instructive way, some main topics of coding theory. It is also a book for coding theorists interested in learning the program SAGE to perform computations with error-correcting codes. ... the book is interesting and enjoyable to read, and offers a good opportunity to learn about some of the most fascinating aspects of the mathematical theory of codes. It is also a good source for learning SAGE in a useful and entertaining way." (Carlos Munuera, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1239, 2012)
