+## Examples
+
+A good starting point for how to use plonky2 for simple applications is the included examples:
+
+* [`factorial`](plonky2/examples/factorial.rs): Proving knowledge of 100!
+* [`fibonacci`](plonky2/examples/fibonacci.rs): Proving knowledge of the hundredth Fibonacci number
+* [`square_root`](plonky2/examples/square_root.rs): Proving knowledge of the square root of a given field element
