16.1 due December 2

1. I don't think they really got into this, but I was a little confused at what our message is going to be in our elliptic curve equation. Is it going to be whatever x is? Will it be the a, b, and c? I feel that they didn't really go in depth on why this is going to be important for us as cryptographers.
2. Honestly, this section was not very interesting. I am a bit nervous on how we will be using these elliptic curve equations in the future. It seems to me like they will either be super easy, or super hard. I really cannot see an inbetween on this! I really hope somewhere in this chapter there is some sort of history lesson! I think those are the most interesting parts for me, and they motivate me to actually use what we learned!
