3.4-3.5, due on October 4

1. The Chinese Remainder Theorem is a bit difficult for me to put to use. I understand the concept, but I know if I were asked to actually use it, it would take me a minute to do it on my own.

2. I really liked the example where it found the solution to x^2=1 mod 35 using the chinese remainder theorem. The theorem provides a really nice way to solve problems like these which I would otherwise have no idea how to solve. The method the book showed for finding exponents mod n was also pretty interesting.
