Code making and code breaking is one of the most interesting real-life applications of mathematics. An introduction to cryptography introduces the students to a broad range of mathematical ideas and how they can be used to make secret messages- from simple codes to modern internet encryption.
Group theory- the mathematics of symmetry
Combinatorics- the mathematics of networks and solving problems with diagrams and pictures
Cryptography- the mathematics of codes and secret messages
Probability- games, gambling and predicting the future
Number theory- the properties of numbers
