Section 3.1, Due on January 20

Part I: What was the most difficult part of the material for you?

The first example that was mentioned was confusing for me to follow just because they mentioned that the product of the integers mod 6 crossed with the integers is defined in Appendix B but I couldn't find it. I eventually moved on from finding what it meant and I still understood the problem but I didn't understand with what it meant by integers mod 6 crossed with the integers.

Part II: Write something reflective about the reading.

I think it is interesting that the axioms needed to prove a subring are so much shorter than to prove if something is a ring. I feel like there is more to think about in this theorem so that I can make more sense in why we must only prove those 4 axioms, but I am willing to believe because of the examples that were done for now. But with the fourth axioms for a subring, I need to think more about that because it seems like we should find if solutions exist but apparently we already know they exist.
