Game Theory

Number Theory - Discover the Math Running Digital Security: Once considered the most abstract and least practical area of mathematics, number theory is now essential to our everyday digital world: every second, millions of secure internet transmissions rely on number theory for encryption. In this course, you’ll explore the world of mathematical reasoning and proof, learning the tools needed to understand the RSA algorithm—the backbone of global internet security. You’ll also invent your own encryption schemes and encounter games that use number theory. Alongside practical applications, you’ll get a taste of the rich history of this subject, from legendary mathematicians to the proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem (a famous problem solved just 20 years ago after 350 years of effort).

Introduction to Artificial Intelligence - Explore AI’s Impact on Our World: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, powering your favorite apps and influencing daily life in ways you may not see. How much do you really know about how generative AI works and how it’s impacting our world? In this course, you’ll dive into the history of AI research, from the early dreams of artificial general intelligence to the development of AI technologies like neural networks, machine learning, deep learning, generative AI, natural language processing, and facial recognition. You’ll explore how AI systems are trained, understand the biases that arise from datasets, and learn about responsible AI principles like fairness, transparency, human-centeredness, and data privacy.

Cybersecurity - Safeguard the Digital World: Cybercrime is on the rise, and this is your chance to be part of the solution. Go beyond the basics of cybersecurity, as you explore the inner workings of computer components, network design, DNS, TCP/IP, and how cybercriminals exploit both technology and human behavior to breach systems. Examine ciphers, encryption, data security, and malware anatomy, while also considering the complex balance between privacy and tracking. You’ll emerge with the expertise to defend both personal and organizational data, equipped with knowledge in data recovery, enterprise security, and the latest trends in cybersecurity.
