Assignment 20

1. This section makes sense more or less to me. I suppose if anything is difficult, it would be getting used to the compositional method that was used. Does it work no matter how you factor n? I guess, in the end, I'm just not used to looking for it too. So, if I can get used to it then I think I'll be okay.

2. I enjoyed this reading. It really seems to make sense after we have already learned about exponential powers being used modularly. It also makes sense as we are using it in terms of n=pq, and how we can either find the square root or the factorization for n. Overall, it just makes sense to learn about this here as I feel it ties in perfectly with everything we've been discussing right now.
