16.4, due on December 7

1. I don't really understand what is going on when we add three points only to then add two points to find something that adds to infinity. I'm also having a hard time grasping the concept of working over a finite field GF(2^n).

2. This is random and unimportant, but I liked learning that a singularity is a point "where the partial derivatives with respect to x and y simultaneously vanish." I don't know if I've ever heard of that, but I think it sounds cool and interesting.
