Abstract
In this chapter, we review the basic definitions relating to error-correcting codes and standardize some notation. We then give a brief description of the fundamental code families and constructions that will be dealt with and used in this book. Finally, we discuss the structure of this work and the main results which are established in the technical chapters that follow, explaining in greater detail how the results of the various chapters fit together.
