Just sat in on math 250 (groups, rings and fields). Ken Ribet is a very cool guy, as is evidenced by the fact that he wears blue tennis shoes with no socks! I should start doing that...

That's the fella. Crypto applications galore. Very nice. That's good that he's a good teacher - one of the other elliptic curve crypto guys who shall remain nameless, up at UWashington, is a terrible teacher, soooooo boring.
