It doesn't help if you explain things accurately, if you're explaining it in such a way that no one would understand it who didn't already understand it. One key concept this text skips over, that I at least can't remember from any of the stuff I've read, is elliptic curves. Sure, you learn about abelian groups in an abstract algebra course. And you certainly learn about multiplicative subgroups of the integers modulo a prime. But do you learn about elliptic curves in a basic abstract algebra class these days? I mean maybe we should since they've become so important in cryptography, but I don't think we do.
