16.3 due December 4

1) I know that we started talking about this in class last time, but I am having a hard time understanding how elliptic curves can help us to factor a number. How do we know which elliptic curve we choose? What exactly is a singular curve?
2) I am shocked that there is yet again another factoring method.  There are probably many more that we haven't studied that only work in very specific circumstances.
