hi all,
My wife ( a math major ) has decided that cryptography as a field of study
would be quite appealing to her, since it manages to combine math with
libertarianism.
She has a strong overall math background - are there any math courses
other than Numerical Analysis that would provide her with a stronger foundation
for further study of crypto? I know that the content of classes vary from
school to school - I'm looking more for general topical guidelines - for
example - random numbers, etc.
Any other advice would be welcome as well.
Thanks
John
