Codes and cryptography
Dr. Tim Browning
The study of codes was born at about the same time that humans first
put pen to paper (or chisel to stone). In this talk I will give an
overview of the subject, from the distant past to the here and now.
In particular I shall sketch how number theory has helped to take the
subject in a rather new direction.
