Error in Proof of Fermat's Little Theorem (Chapter 1, p. 14)

Hi Jimmy,

You introduce the modulo operator on the LHS of the equation which I don't believe is correct. Since we are interested in the elements in the left set to equal the elements in the right set, we multiply each element in each set (to make sure the order doesn't matter). The LHS should hence not contain any modulo operator and be:

Which then gives:

All the best, Marco
