Part I: What was the most difficult part of the material for you?
I am most confused about the set R/I. I feel like I understand what an Ideal is and how it is related to R, but now connecting it to modulo of R seems too confusing and abstract. I don't think I am comfortable yet with cosets and that is probably where most of this confusion is coming from.
Part II: Write something reflective about the reading.
The notation in this section starts to get really confusing. Since a+I denotes a congruence class yet they then define addition in a similar way and it is strange. I don't really understand why they didn't use a different notation for addition or for the congruence class, like something that related better to Chapter 2.
