Part I : What was the most difficult part of the material for you?
The most difficult part of the material for me is the connection between Corollary 2.5 to Theorem 2.3 and to the definition of congruence class. I can connect the definition of congruent to modulo and the remainder idea, but I am having a lot of difficulty connecting everything together. I think what makes it so difficult is to use so many variables rather than actual numbers to see the pattern. The congruence class is an abstract idea for me right now because I haven't written it out much yet, but hopefully as I work through the homework and look through our notes in the future I will get use to it.
Part II: Write something reflective about the reading.
This section reminds me of learning about modulo in Math 290. That is probably why I can connect some of the pieces together but since it has been a little while, I am getting a little confused and lost. In Math 290 I learned more about the connection of how modulo relates to the remainder in the equation a=qn+r where r is the remainder. Yet I didn't go in depth about modulo arithmetic in 290 so hopefully I will get better with it in this class.
