Review text

This is a beautiful survey on the connection between the theory of error-correcting codes and the theory of algebraic curves over finite fields, by means of Goppa's construction of codes from algebraic curves. The stress is given on the theory of algebraic curves over finite fields, which is taken from its origins with the works of Gauss to the present paper. The paper is written for non-specialists and gives a quick and clear update on the objectives, the development and the main problems of this area. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0955.00011].
