The hardest part of the reading for me was following some of the proofs in section 3.1. Most of my trouble came with the ones one pages 65 and 68. I understand the theorems and for the most part they seem intuitive, but I had trouble really understanding the proofs.
The most interesting part was the little preview of encryption methods given in 1.1 and 1.2. It make me excited to learn more.

Introduction due on September 1
I am a senior and a Math major.
I have taken 371, 315, 316, 347, 410, 411, 352, and 425.
I have one more math elective left, and this one sounded fun and interesting.
I have quite a bit of programming experience with MATLAB, and then a little bit of experience using Maple and Mathematica. I would be fairly comfortable using these to do homework.
I really like Dr. Doud. I had him for Math 190. He was very good at clearly explaining concepts and finding ways to unravel abstract concepts. Also, I had Dr. Lawlor for 315, and I could really tell that he had put a lot of time and effort into developing multiple ways of explaining difficult, abstract topics. That really impressed me.
I am planning on pursuing a career in medicine.
