Modular Arithmetic

[pmcgee]

In maths, "everything" is connected

"Modular arithmetic is referenced in number theory, group theory, ring theory, knot theory, abstract algebra, computer algebra, cryptography, computer science, chemistry and the visual and musical arts.It is one of the foundations of number theory, touching on almost every aspect of its study, and provides key examples for group theory, ring theory and abstract algebra.
In cryptography, modular arithmetic directly underpins public key systems such as RSA and Diffie-Hellman, and provides finite fields which underlie elliptic curves, and is used in a variety of symmetric key algorithms including Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA), and RC4. RSA and Diffie-Hellman use Modular exponentiation."

Gotta love math!!
