I’m excited to teach “Cryptography: The History and Mathematics of Codes and Ciphers” again this fall. It’s my favorite course to teach, and I hope you find it interesting, too.<\/p>\n

Here’s a copy of the Fall 2018 syllabus<\/a>.\u00a0 Please read this before class on Friday, when we’ll talk about various aspects of the course and I’ll take your questions on the syllabus.<\/p>\n

On the Contact page, you’ll find directions to my office, which you’ll need for the “get to know you meetings” you signed up for next week. Be sure to give yourself a few extra minutes to find my office the first time, and feel free to call the Center for Teaching (where I work) if you get lost: 615-322-7290.<\/p>\n

I shared a few news stories in class yesterday. I’ll link to them here, in case you want to read them, but I’ll note that they’re also saved in our Diigo bookmark group<\/a>. Be sure to request access to that group, as outlined in the course syllabus.<\/p>\n
