3.2-3.3 due 8/31

There was nothing to difficult in this section because I feel that I've learned it all in 371. However I feel that it will get complicated dealing with fractions mod n.

I thought it was very interesting that the book discussed division in mod n with out even bring up rings or fields. It shows that the concept is not the important part but the application is.

Section 1.1, 1.2 and 3.1 due on 8/29

Reading about the types of keys, ciphers, attacks, and applications was very confusing, it was hard to keep track of each separate definition and description.

I thought it was very interesting that factoring is the key to a difficult to factor code. It is something we can easily do with low numbers but it becomes exponentially harder as the numbers get larger.

I am a Senior majoring in Math Education.
I have taken, 290, 313, 314, 334, and 371.
I think the topic is super interesting and can be a very fun application for mathematics.
I have used Maple and Mathematica, but I don't remember much. I will refresh myself before using them for homework.
Dr. Jenkins, you have been my very best math professor at BYU. Your explanations are very clear and concise. I was thoroughly challenged in Math 371, but i never felt like i was drowning.
I served a mission in Curitiba, Brazil.
I am able to come your office hours.
