This section on elliptic curves is fascinating as well as being understandable. The only main part that didn't make sense were some of the computations that were done in finding the third point in the addition algorithm. Other than that, everything else made sense. I am getting the feeling though that some things in here will use some more difficult concepts from abstract algebra.
This seems like a really interesting subject, and I'm interested to see how these curves will be applied to cryptography. It seems like they aren't that connected, but I'm sure I'll see how wrong that thought is soon.
