- I have never heard of elliptic curves until this class so it was interesting to read about them. I am still kind of confused on what defines an elliptic curves.
- A few things I didn't understand about the reading is first of all, what is an abelian group? second, I was confused on the graph of y^2=x(x+1)(x-1). I'm not sure why there wasn't any values for x between 0 and 1.

Me neither Preston. Elliptic curves? I mean really. It sounds like something out of a fantasy novel. But they're cool I guess if they help solve world hunger and bring about peace in the middle east.
