3.10, due october 21

i’m a little confused about the jacobi/legendre symbols. i really did get confused in all the mathematics of the examples and proofs in this section. it will be really helpful to see lots of examples and to work through examples on my own. that way i can familiarize myself with these symbols.

i think it’s so cool that we can calculate those “fractions” (i was also a little confused by those and if they really were fractions) by using all the different properties. i also think it’s so cool that we can use all these different methods to calculate squares mod p. math always blows my mind and it’s so interesting to learn new things!
