Leerresultaten

 

At the end of the cursus, students should be able  

  • to use arithmetics and elliptic functions theory in a correct manner to ciffer any given message or to determine the content to any ciphered message, 
  • to make proofs by mathematical induction,
  • to model system behavior equations by recurrent equations and to solve them. 

 

Inhoud

The lecture's content is divided into four chapters

  • recurrence equations
  • arithmetics 
  • introduction to cryptography
  • elliptic functions

 

 

 

Evaluatiemethode

Written exam made of exercices to solve.

Special care will be put on how  students explain their mathematical reasoning and deductions. Clarity and formalism are thus important.
