1.1-1.2 and 3.1, due on september 6

because 371 is still somewhat fresh in my mind, i think the most difficult stuff from this reading is all the new vocabulary. there are so many new terms and i keep getting them confused and forgetting. i’m sure they will come with time as we continually use them, but i need to keep reviewing them so i don’t keep confusing them.

i’m excited that the basic number theory from the reading is related to cryptography. i really enjoyed that section of 371 (probably because it actually made sense) and i feel pretty comfortable using it. it’s also so cool to think that there are some codes that are unbreakable! it actually kinda blows my mind when i think about how many possibilities and keys there are.
