Section 16.4, due Monday, December 9

This actually made a surprising amount of sense, though I'm confused how to determine the set of possible x values to put in an elliptic curve based on a finite field.  Do we just make one of the finite fields based on the type of finite fields we made before, where they were the set of polynomials modulo a polynomial with binary coefficients?

It was interesting to see how a finite field is used in this context, and also to see more applications of this concept.
