They call it "Moon Math" because it feels alien.
They call it "Zero Knowledge" because it feels impossible.
I’m writing a new series to demystify the foundational math of ZKPs. But instead of dry textbooks, we’re mapping the maths to a journey around the Moon.
The Itinerary:
1. Sea of Tranquility: The Paradox of Privacy.
2. Bay of Rainbows: Turning Code into Curves (Polynomials).
3. Ocean of Storms: The endless sea of Finite Fields.
4. The Far Side: The dark, complex world of Elliptic Curves.
...and 4 more stops ending at the Peaks of Eternal Light.
From the safety of the Near Side to the complex geometry of the Far Side—we’re going to map it all.
Our first stage takes us from the Sea of Tranquility to the Bay of Rainbows, from bottom right to top left on the chart.
