Oh Lord.
I am managing to understand number theory - (none of it is so difficult, that you are unable to follow the proofs with very careful reading) - but every time I come across another example problem in the book, It is clear that I would never have thought of answering it in the way described within the text.
What's more, having read the answer, I still can't understand how a number theory novice is supposed to know the answers to these things, from the sparse collection of theorems that are provided in the set books.
I reckon that with many extra hours of study and utilizing a rather handy technique that I have recently picked up for learning new material, I should be able to rote learn the minor theorem proofs, some key example solutions and a few other bits, in time for the exam. But, I don't actually think that this is going to get me through the damn exam; however, it might just keep the blood pressure low enough to avoid going on Statins before June.
As my friend Chris would say.
K.B.O.
