i was a little confused on how to use the chinese remainder theorem. i think i kind of understand what it is, but i remember being a little confused when i learned about it in 371. it’s always easier for me to understand these math processes when i actually do them myself.
it was really interesting to see how easy it can be to work with modular exponentiation. i probably would have just multiplied it all out and then reduced it and it would have taken me forever. it makes sense that the method from that section would work, and it makes me feel better to know that i can reduce as i go instead of being stuck with a huge number.
