Difficult: I still don't think I understand their notation very well, the whole x = L sub alpha (beta) thing is hard for me to keep track of which part means what,but I'm sure time/hw problems will help with that so I can keep them all straight. Are we going to be expected to factor all these bigger numbers and mod them in our heads/using only a basic calculator on the next exam? Because I'm pretty sure that would extend the amount I need to set aside for the test substantially.
Interesting: The Baby Step, Giant Step Attack was pretty interesting. I also thought the fact that they named the attack that was pretty funny. But it is cool that/interesting to think about since the two lists are interconnected and there's a match, but since it only works well for primes up to 10^20, it makes me wonder what a better method would be.
