There are, so it is alleged, many ways to skin a cat. There are also many ways to teach coding theory. My feeling is that, contrary to other disciplines, coding theory was never a fully unified theory. To describe it, one can paraphrase what has been written about the Enlightenment: "It was less a determined swift river than a lacework of deltaic streams working their way along twisted channels" (E.

0. Wilson, Consilience, 1999).

The seed of this book was sown in 2000, when I was invited to teach a course on coded modulation at Princeton University. A substantial portion of students enrolled in the course had little or no background in algebraic coding theory, nor did the time available for the course allow me to cover the basics of the discipline. My choice was to start directly with coding in the signal space, with only a marginal treatment of the indispensable aspects of "classical" algebraic coding theory. The selection of topics covered in this book, intended to serve as a textbook for a first level graduate course, reflects that original choice. Subsequently, I had the occasion to refine the material now collected in this book while teaching Master courses at Politecnico di Torino and at the Institute for Communications Engineering of the Technical University of Munich.
