Abstract
We present in these lecture notes a survey of Delsarte’s work on the algebraic theory of association schemes, which has influenced considerably the recent developments in coding theory. We have somewhat updated Delsarte’s original results which are often presented with new proofs. The material has been divided into three main parts.
