Course Syllabus

Abstract

The discipline goal is to develop students' professional skills in applied fields of the computer science. The course is devoted to the study of number theory and its applications in computer science, mainly in cryptography.The course is aimed at the formation and development of theoretical-numerical thinking, as well as the understanding of the fundamental concepts of number theory and the ways in which they can be used in cryptography.

Learning Objectives

• The discipline goal is to develop students' professional skills in number theory and cryptography.

Expected Learning Outcomes
