    The final digit of a Universal Product Code, International Article Number, Global Location Number or Global Trade Item Number is a check digit computed as follows: [3] [4]. Add the digits in the odd-numbered positions from the left (first, third, fifth, etc.—not including the check digit) together and multiply by three.

    This article is a list of standard proofreader's marks used to indicate and correct problems in a text. Marks come in two varieties, abbreviations and abstract symbols. These are usually handwritten on the paper containing the

  4. Cyclic redundancy check - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_redundancy_check

    The advantage of choosing a primitive polynomial as the generator for a CRC code is that the resulting code has maximal total block length in the sense that all 1-bit errors within that block length have different remainders (also called syndromes) and therefore, since the remainder is a linear function of the block, the code can detect all 2 ...

  9. Introduction to the Theory of Error-Correcting Codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_the_Theory...

    This book is mainly centered around algebraic and combinatorial techniques for designing and using error-correcting linear block codes. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] [ 9 ] It differs from previous works in this area in its reduction of each result to its mathematical foundations, and its clear exposition of the results follow from these foundations.
