Section 6.3, due March 2

What was most difficult?
The most difficult thing right now is...everything. The text is getting less and less clear, or I'm getting more and more stupid. I think really though, it's just understanding why we are abstracting these things that is a bit unclear and makes it hard to grasp this. It was pretty clear in the earlier sections why were doing this abstraction...but things like maximal ideals? What is it for? I don't care if it's used in the "real world" how is it used in algebra?

Most Interesting
I think it's interesting that every maximal ideal in a commutative ring with identity is prime.
