2.1, due Jan 8

Difficult:  The whole mod n concept.  It says that a and b are congruent if their difference is 0 and equivalent if their difference is a multiple of 0.  Doesn't that make everything equivalent to each other? What is the point of the mod n.

Interesting: It's nice that the reflexive, symmetric and transitive properties hold true for congruency.
