Number Theory and Cryptography Coursera

About this course: We all learn numbers from the childhood. Some of us like to count, others hate it, but any person uses numbers everyday to buy things, pay for services, estimated time and necessary resources. People have been wondering about numbers' properties for thousands of years. And for thousands of years it was more or less just a game that was only interesting for pure mathematicians. Famous 20th century mathematician G.H. Hardy once said "The Theory of Numbers has always been regarded as one of the most obviously useless branches of Pure Mathematics".
