3.2 and 3.3, due on August 31

-I haven't gone super in-depth with division involving congruences so there were some portions of the reading that were somewhat difficult to understand, but I'm sure with more examples that the things I missed will make more sense.
-It was interesting to see how fractions can be used to greatly simplify expressions involving modular arithmetic, especially when working with a large modulus, such as the example where 1/2 and 6173 are both congruent to 1 mod 12345.
