Section 3.11, October 19

I feel a little silly saying it, but the thing I had the hardest time understanding was the format of the legendre numbers. I originally asumed the two numbers where being divided by one another. It was only after I went to class that I finally understand. This little mistake made it nearly impossible for me to follow along, but once I grasped this it was cool.

The cools part for me was learning about the quadratic reduction problem. After reading the chapter I also looked over it on Wikipedia. It is cool to find something attached to RSA that I had not already heard about.
