Sec 16.3, due Dec 4th

1. The Singular curves part in this section was kind of confunsing for me, I just had a hard time following the example, probably because I'm tired, but that was what confused me. i'm sure I'll be able to understand it better in class.
2.This section was really cool! I love learing new ways to factor large n's, and now we have an even newer one, with elliptic curves! Also, it's always fun to learn new definitions, such as smooth and B-smooth (which is kinda funny cause it sounds like you're telling the elliptic curve to "be smooth" around this lady curve that it's going to intersect...ok, jk, I'm tired :) ) ANYWAY, this was a great section and I love learning about these elliptic curves!

PS Loved the cryptography pictures!!! They were awesome! :)
