What was the most difficult part of the material for you?
The most difficult part is just wrapping my head around the idea of modular arithmetic. I guess the concept isn't really that difficult, but I'm not thrilled about the idea of having to remember more definitions for something that isn't very intuitive to me. Perhaps the new notation will be confusing. All in all, nothing is super difficult in the class yet. I'm sure it will get worse (or better, depending on your perspective) later. As for now, it's mostly just that the stuff is new.
Reflection
Theorem 2.7, or the different rules for the integers applied to Zn is pretty cool. It's just cool how in math, things can be generalized to work in different areas so many times--yet other times they can't.
