I'd appreciate recommendations for a text on coding theory
for an undergraduate junior/senior level course in a
computer science dept.  I plan to cover the usual topics, 
and perhaps cryptology and data compression, if time permits.
A book with minimal algebraic prerequisites would be preferable
since the students won't have had any courses in abstract algebra.
Thanks.
