Thanks for posting. Looks better than the small section at Khan Academy on Cryptography. |

Hehe - he mentions digital cash in the intro, though he does not mention BTC!  Maybe we can donate to him some BTC! |

Yeah this is cool,
First week is already available.
You get a certificate of completion also, which seems noteworthy if it says anything about stanford on it.

What math background is needed for the course?
The course is mostly self contained, however some knowledge of discrete probability will be helpful. The wikibooks article on discrete probability should give sufficient background.
That's a relief. However, as far as I know, to really understand cryptography, you have to know some crazy high level math. |

It's insanely hard for anyone who isn't good at advanced algebra. I'd post an example question here, but I'm pretty sure that's against the rules. |

^^Comedy.
The math is a little difficult that's for sure.
It might take a refresher for some.
So far so good, but I have had to stop the video and re-analyze a couple times.

There are so many classes I want to take there but I have none of the prerequisites nor the time for them... I feel like ditching high school, taking GED test, and going to a university right now.

Last week of part 2 will be about one of the topics chosen by "popular demand". Elliptic curve cryptography is on the list. How about ganging up to demand that?

Uhm, the only way for me to do this properly is to cut down on time spent on this forum during the course.
