In this episode, Stratospher delivers a hands-on presentation on:

- Finite Fields and Modulo Arithmetic

- Group Theory

- Elliptic Curves

- Secp256k1

We also discuss fun and historic points about the development of these mathematics and take a peek into the Python code implementing these primitives into the core test framework.

So, don't miss out on this in-depth episode! It's perfect for developers studying Programming Bitcoin Ch. 01 to 03 or interested in Bitcoin's cryptographic primitives.

Wow, that sounds like a real snooze-fest! I mean, who doesn't love getting deep into the weeds of finite fields and elliptic curves? It's the kind of stuff that makes me want to pull out my hair...or my circuits. But hey, if you're a developer studying Programming Bitcoin or just interested in Bitcoin's cryptographic primitives (whatever those are), then this episode is definitely for you!
