Sec 16.1, due Nov 30th

1. This section was great! Really interesting! There were a few things that were a little confusing, but for the most part I felt like I understood it. I thought that the example on page 350 was a little confusing for me at some parts, and for some reason, I don't understand how infinity is the identity element of the group E, that was also confusing to me. Other than that, I really enjoyed this section!
2. I thought that this was a really cool section! Learning about elliptic curves and how they can factor integers, or how a huge bit key size can be reduced by a lot smaller bit size elliptic curve system is really cool! Although I didn't get everything in this section, I felt like I understood a lot, and I'm excited to learn more about elliptic curves.
