Section 5.1, Due February 10

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


I understand what congruence class is, but I am so use to it in the integers mod that I am a little confused about how it is in a polynomial ring. Even understanding mod in a polynomial ring just seems so much more complicated.



Part II: Write something reflective about the reading.

It is really cool to see how each section of previous chapters relates to a different structure of "numbers" and I can clearly see that in this section. Many of the theorems are worded very similarly and it is helpful to look back at the previous sections to make those connections.
