What was most difficult for you?
In all honesty, this wasn't difficult. I've never seen rings before, but it was very clearly defined in the text. I've had enough other math classes, that the idea of constructing sets to meet certain properties(such as those of rings or fields) isn't anything new to me. The examples were very clear, and it became obvious to me before I read the example on real matrices that they would be considered rings as well. I don't know if this is a satisfactory answer, but nothing was difficult. The "most difficult" part of the text would equally be any part.
Reflection
I'm eager to see what we will do with rings, and why they exist. What is their role in mathematics? As an applied math person, I'm always interested in the utility of different branches of mathematics, and I believe (or want to believe) that in their own way, each part is useful. Therefore, I'm very curious to learn more about rings and their place in Algebra and mathematics in general.
