That course looks a bit to fast for a beginner. For a more gentle and enjoyable approach, look at the Khan Academy's Journey Into Cryptography:

There's also a course at Berkeley that's pretty good:

Covers some big recent results in the field like FHE and iO

I just wrapped up a graduate level course in cryptography and the Khan Academy videos and exercises went a very long way to help me grok the math needed to understand the fundamental math. Good exercises on there to explain why probability distributions can break a cryptographic scheme. Very good video explanations on Diffie-Hellman on that site.
