Math required for cryptology?

No.12709982 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Hey! My friend wanted me to familiarize myself with math and its applications in cryptology (specifically blockchain stuff?) and I was wondering to what degree I will need certain facets of math (since I'm only really required to do the math part).

Calculus-wise, I have yet to learn line and surface integrals, divergence, green's gauss's and stoke's theorem.

I haven't touched number theory or linear algebra yet, but will begin learning linear algebra in college next semester.

What is necessary for me to succeed?
