Course Title： Channel Coding (通道編碼)
Instructor：Yunghsiang S. Han (韓永祥)
Course goal：To teach students the
fundamental knowledge about coding theory.
Final grade：midterm exam 40%，final exam 50%， attendance
rate 10％
A set of lecture notes will be
provided on my personal website. The following are the textbook and recommended
reference:
Textbook: Error Control Coding,
Second Edition, S. Lin and D. J. Costello, Jr., Prentice-Hall, Inc., 2004. (歐亞書局代理)
