Section 3.5 - 3.6

Wow the modular exponentiation thing is a cool trick. I can see this being very useful in optimizing certain algorithms. I understand Eulers and Fermat's theorem and there usefullness but the proff for Euler's might be beyond me. I just can't imagine coming up with the transformations they used in the proof.
