From the creator

Shamir's Secret Sharing on wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir%27s_Secret_Sharing Teaching resource! This was made by a high school teacher in the US to use with Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and Pre-calc. It's a work in progress but you can get it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/snee4of46ige25g/Shamir%20Secret%20Sharing%20.pdf?dl=0 I made the animated parabola in GeoGebra with help from my mate Ben Sparks. Here is the GeoGebra5 file if you'd like to have a play: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zydcy38eedahbfu/quadratic%20from%20SUMS%20video.ggb?dl=0 Read about finite fields on MathWorld: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/FiniteField.html Shamir Secret Sharing used with Bitcoin: https://blog.trezor.io/shamir-backup-the-revolution-of-private-keys-backup-is-here-858687ed7fe7 And for balance, an argument against using Shamir Sharing with Bitcoin, but rather Multisignature. https://blog.keys.casa/shamirs-secret-sharing-security-shortcomings/ CORRECTIONS - None yet, let me know if you spot any mistakes!
