I forgot to do this yesterday before I left campus, and then my internet at my apartment was down and it was my birthday, so I didn't really want to come back on campus to do it, but I did the reading before midnight...
What was the most difficult part of the material for you?
I had some trouble following the decryption method/how to break the Playfair and ADFGX ciphers.
What was the most interesting part of the material? How does this material connect to something else you have learned in mathematics? How is this material useful/relevant to your intellectual or career interests?
I imagine this will probably be everyone's favorite part of the material, but I really liked the part about cryptography in Sherlock Holmes. I like Agatha Christie (particularly the Miss Marple books) better than Sherlock Holmes, but I still rather enjoy murder mysteries.
