This book serves as an introductory text to algebraic coding theory. The contents are suitable for final year undergraduate and first year graduate courses in electrical and computer engineering, and will give the reader knowledge of coding fundamentals that is essential for a d…
The American ENIAC is customarily regarded as having been the starting point of electronic computation. This book rewrites the history of computer science, arguing that in reality Colossus--the giant computer built by the British secret service during World War II--predates ENIA…
Shrouded in secrecy until very recently, Colossus was the world's first fully-functioning electronic computer, built during the Second World War and used at Bletchley Park to crack the codes of high-level Nazi communications. This book contains fascinating accounts of Colossus, …
