Oops, I left out Transposition Ciphers as one of the pages

And, erm, put it in the wrong faculty, fixed now.

Great thanks, this is a really good subject. I'm updating the lists tomorrow. I'll see if I can find you a passing mathematician or two as well.

Peta,

Cheers, I'll need to find a sub-ed as well, preferably one who likes projects that go by a little quick, once this is a go, pages are likely to be added at speed.

Many thanks

Cestus

Peta,

I don't mean to be pushy, but it's been a few weeks now and the project hasn't made it to the University projects page yet.....

Cheers,

Cestus
