Oops, last time I blogged about the wrong section (2.4.5, today's section). Here is what I should have written for last time.
Difficult: I still have a hard time conceptualizing what is going to be a primitive root and what is not. I feel that it should be a little more obvious, but maybe it isn't.
Reflective: The existance of psuedo-primes is interesting, especially how there are even a set of numbers where they will always appear prime using Fermat's Little Theorem. It makes it clear that we can't extrapolate too much from what we have.
