Abstract: We survey the notion and history of error-correcting codes and the algorithms needed to make them effective in information transmission. We then give some basic as well as more modern constructions of, and algorithms for, error-correcting codes that depend on relatively simple elements of applied algebra. While the role of algebra in the constructions of codes has been widely acknowledged in texts and other writings, the role in the design of algorithms is often less widely understood, and this survey hopes to reduce this difference to some extent.
