What was most difficult?
The thing that was most difficult was the notation [a,b] for a/b, because
I'm so used to the latter notation. However, towards the end of the section they switched, which made things easier. In general, what has been difficult and further exemplified in this reading, was how they took something so intuitive and give us these super specific, strange names for everything. This makes me over-think everything and when I try to remember the definition, I feel confused until I remember the aspects that are more in line with my intuition. But, this is mathematics, so it's no real surprise, just a bit obnoxious at times.
Reflection
It will be fun/interesting to do some of what we've been doing, but with rational numbers now.
