Found nice introductory paper on cryptography & complexity

17 November, 2009 in category computers, english, Mathematics for non-mathematicians by Konrad Voelkel.

It's accessible with a minimum amount of knowledge in computer science and/or mathematics. If you ever wondered how PGP works, this is a good place to learn it! (link to arXiv inside)

Some nice introductory/expository papers

29 October, 2009 in category english, mathematics, Mathematics for non-mathematicians by Konrad Voelkel.

On Math Overflow, someone asked for a single paper everyone should read. Here I repeat those which were particularly nice to read for me.

A1-Homotopy Theory for non-mathematicians

11 October, 2009 in category english, Mathematics for non-mathematicians, Walkthrough to Morel-Voevodsky A1-homotopy theory by Konrad Voelkel.

I just found this very nice talk of Voevodsky (2002) about A1-Homotopy Theory - where he explains it for non-mathematicians.
