Why such topic?

I am an engineer

I need maths!

We live in anexciting time

everything … business, daily lives

done throughelectronic means

ATM, cellphones,internet, …

They need 1 thing:

SECURITY

Encryption

They’re allMATH EQUATIONS!

How to efficiently implement them in

software and hardware

Hardware is more difficult

(limited resources)

“For any field to move ahead, researchers must try things even when they don’t

quite know what they’re doing”

(Bob Colwell, “All Things Are Connected,”

IEEE Computer, November, 2004)

Engineersmust have “higher

standards”

“Maybe engineers are held to higher standards

because they can be”

(Bob Colwell, “All Things Are Connected,”

IEEE Computer, November, 2004)

Engineers must understand maths

But we’re not getting it

We need“Maths for Engineers”

in what form?

Formal class (too much science?)

Books(stories of digital heroes who go interested in engineering because they read certain

books)

Get together(mixing it up)

Other “bridge”???
