Main Idea
The Mathematics Club is excited to introduce the articles page. Spreading math enthu to all, this page contains a collection of all the articles made by the maths club until now (and it continues to grow!). These articles cover different topics and contain an introduction to the topics as well as resources to continue learning the topic.
Is there an Order in the Chaos of Primes?
Prime numbers, though simple, hold deep mysteries – especially in their seemingly random distribution. Despite their sparseness among larger numbers, there are infinitely many of them. The article explores this enigma, touches on the Riemann Hypothesis, and provides resources for further reading and learning about primes and their behaviour.
Group Theory and Modern Encryption
This article explores the profound role of group theory in the evolution of cryptography, from its pivotal use in breaking the Enigma machine during World War II to its foundational presence in modern encryption methods such as RSA and elliptic curve cryptography. Through the lens of algebraic structures and the discrete logarithm problem, it highlights how mathematical rigor underpins secure communication in both historical and contemporary contexts.
