Are these courses enough for foundation course in Crypto?

In summary, completing courses in Discrete Math, Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Programming 1 (Python), Intro to Algorithms and Data Structures (Java), and introductory Statistics and Probability should provide a strong foundation for understanding the concepts of an entry level course in Cryptology or Cryptography. However, it is recommended to also have some knowledge in number theory, combinatorics, and logic, which may have been covered in the discrete math course. The calculus and statistics courses may not be as relevant, but programming skills will be useful.

If someone completed Discrete Math, Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations,Programming 1 (Python), Intro to Algorithms and Data Structures (Java), and an introductory Statistics and Probability course would they have enough of an understanding in Math to be able to grasp the concepts of an entry level course in Cryptology or Cryptography course?

I would prepare for my first crypto course by learning some number theory, combinatorics, and logic. Enough of this should have been covered by the discrete math course. Most likely the calculus and stats courses are irrelevant. Programming is useful though.
