1. I feel like I could still understand section 3.6 better. It seems as though Fermat's and Euler's finding will come to be very important in the near future, so I'd like to understand them through and through. I feel like I mostly get what they are working towards, but I just need that little bit extra that the lecture in class usually gives me before I feel like I really know what we are looking for.
2. Ok, so I found that it was really cool how we could use Fermat's Theorem to find that 2^53 is congruent to 8 (mod 11) so quickly. That's pretty classy that. It was nice to have the explanation of the three-pass protocol--are we going to do anything with that? That would be interesting to work with.
