To anyone with a strong math background and not particularly interested in the history: maybe try Stanford’s Intro to Cryptography by Dan Boneh? I took it way back when I was an undergrad there studying math and physics, and IIRC it got into the math very quickly (not that I didn’t enjoy the historical context personally). It’s been available as a highly-rated MOOC for a while: https://www.coursera.org/learn/crypto https://www.coursera.org/learn/crypto
