3.6 and 3.7 due on October 6th

The most interesting parts of today's reading for me were:

1. Fetmat's Little Theorem and its proof - I thought the proof for this theorem was really clever. Those are always fun to read.
2. The three pass protocol - We had alluded to this previously in the class, but I never really understood how it worked until I read this section. Now that I understand it, I can see what a cool idea it is.

After the reading, I don't have a good understanding of why Euler's function works or why Euler's theorem is important, but I think that everything else made sense.
