Section 5.3.2

Difficult: I feel that I understand each individual equation, but I am having a hard time filling out a complete mental picture of the proof. I don't really know where the disconnect is though.

Reflective: I don't really get why we care so much about Mersenne primes. What applications do they have, besides being huge. I wonder because it seems like we spend a lot of time looking for them, but I havn't heard why we need them.
