Where would we be without numbers? But how much do we understand about them? With 25 different distinct methods of multiplication alone having been discovered, perhaps our journey is just starting. Last year we got a glimpse of the inner workings of the Antikythera Mechanism for the first time but how many of us have heard of Jakob Trachtenberg? Or know how the Difference Engine of Charles Babbage works? And then there is the weird and wonderful world of quantum computing. Since the first armies stepped on the Earth ciphers were used to hide messages from snooping eyes but how far have they evolved? Are we at the dawn of a new age of uncrackable non-deterministic ciphers and cryptography?
