My background
I'm a third year student. I study mathematics combined with computer science (with focus on modeling, simulations and visualization). In order to get my degree, I have to make a half-year project where I combine mathematics with computer science.
What I want to do
I am in love with algebra and group theory. But I don't know how it would fit with the interdisciplinary project, where I have to combine it with computer science. Someone suggested cryptology, but I don't know alot about it (any thoughts? and useful references?).
My problem/question
Is it possible to combine computer science with algebra? I also need project ideas (I would also like references).
