2.5-2.8, 3.8, due on September 15

1. Basically this whole reading assignment was difficult for me. I didn't really have a hard time understanding how to encrypt or decrypt any of the ciphers, but I struggled understanding why the attack methods would work. This was especially true for the Playfair and ADFGX Ciphers.

2. I really love linear algebra. It has been my favorite subject since I've been studying math. So it is exciting to see it used in Cryptography. Not only is it used, but it seems to be really valuable.
