 4. Let $E=-\sum Q_i$.
 5. If the number of points in $E$ is less than or equal to $g$, then stop, the reduction of $D$ is $E$. Otherwise, let $D=E$ and repeat from step 1.
 
-Reduction by this method is analogous to the modulo operation for integers, in that it maps the group of all divisors to a cyclic group known as the *Jacobian* $J(E)$.
+Reduction by this method is analogous to the modulo operation for integers, in that it maps the group of all divisors to a cyclic group known as the *Jacobian* $J(H)$.
 
 Some useful observations can be made about the reduction procedure. Notice first that it is necessary for the polynomial $q$ to equal 0 for all $x_i$ of the points $P_i$ in the divisor $D$, as can be seen from the curve equation and the definition of $v$. Therefore, we can let $q(x)=u(x)q'(x)$, where the polynomial $u(x)=0$ has roots $x_i$ with multiplicity $c_i$ for all the points $P_i$ in $D$.

+To compute $k$ from $e$, we need to know the *order* of the Jacobian $N=\\#J(H)$, which is the number of unique divisors in $J$.
 
 When this value is known, $k$ can be computed in a straightforward manner:
