Section 4.1, Due on January 30

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

I am most confused on what the F[x] represents and if f(x), g(x) is an element of F[x]. Does that mean g(x) and f(x) are the coefficients for the polynomial or does it mean f(x) and g(x) are the coefficients with the x part, so the whole term? This is what was mentioned in Theorem 4.4 The Division Algorithm in F[x] and I just don't fully understand the concept of F[x] yet.

Part II: Write something reflective about the reading.

 I really like seeing how the division algorithm works and the proof they use in the book. It was really helpful to see an example next to the proof so you could understand what they were meaning better. Even thought I was confused with the meaning of Theorem 4.4, I think I can understand the computational side of how to do it which I like.
