Synopsis

Codes have been around for ages, and so have codebreakers. Not only does this book introduce students to the purposes of codes and the histories of many codes, it shows them how to crack codes. This book is especially relevant to computer science, as hackers rely on these same principles today. But it's likely to be of interest to a wide group. Working through one of the codes as a class would be an engaging and fun activity.
