And now for something completely different from SIMIODE. . . . in a keynote presentation at SIMIODE EXPO 2022 Craig Bauer, Mathematics, York College of Pennsylvania, York PA USA, Editor Cryptologia tells us, "Why I Love Cryptology (and Why You Will Too)" (Slides) (Video)
Indeed, cryptology intersects many other fascinating disciplines, such as history, art, music, crime, and the paranormal to an extent that is greater than any other mathematical discipline. It also has extremely strong connections with engineering, computer science, and most recently quantum mechanics. The overlap between cryptology and mathematics in general is nearly complete. In the talk, I will rapidly share examples of a great many of these intersections as justifications for my claim that you will love immersing yourself in cryptology. For those already familiar with the subject, I promise there will be several examples that you have likely missed and will greatly enjoy.
Learn about this exciting field which is filled with rich materials for motivating the study of serious mathematics with serious consequences.
