6.4.1-6.4.2 due on October 22

What was the most difficult part of the material for you?

In the Universal Exponent Factorization Method, there are a log of conditions and checks. Keeping track of all the conditions and checks is the most difficult part of the material.

What was the most interesting part of the material?

I think it is very interesting to see the linear algebra application in the Quadratic Sieve method of factorization. I think it is a clever way to do it, and I always enjoy seeing connections of linear algebra to number theory.
