Códigos corretores de erros

Abstract

The work presented here aims to show the mathematical foundations that make possible the operation of error-correcting codes, and ensure its efficiency. Based mainly on the work of Perez, Belonsi and Bairon, and guided by studies related directly to the Theory of Numbers, as Nazareth, Asuncion, Bahia, stung Hefez and Villela, the paper presents beyond the mathematical foundations used directly or indirectly in Brokers Codes errors, a valuable historical review, which allows us to realize the importance of communication, which is almost as old as human existence itself, and that it was always necessary, as has always existed and will exist the need to communicate securely, be that between kingdoms and their armies, or between business organizations. The historical aspects of the approach also allows us to see the close connection between the development of error-correcting codes and the increased need to communicate through different channels, or even the need to store information, which resulted in the creation of several methods, using the various resources, including mathematics.
