Section 3.6 - 3.7, October 7

The hardest part for me was to figure out all the different ways we were using Euler's function. It took me quite a while to understand while 0(p) = p - 1. Once I was able to understand that it started to come together why the other ones started to work out in my head.

The most interesting item was how we could find numbers that are essentially generators of all the other numbers. This is so important to me because I have studied the Duffie-Hillman algorithm where this decomes essential.
