Part I: What was the most difficult part of the material for you?
The section about maximal ideals really confused me. After thinking about it for a while, the example given with (3) kind of made sense how (3) is a maximal ideal, but then the example of Z[x]/(x) really lost me and I was just lost on what that even meant.
Part II: Write something reflective about the reading.
It is becoming really difficult to tie everything from what I have learned in previous sections to this chapter. I am still struggling with the idea the Z/(3) is the same as Z mod 3 and I just have a really hard time trying to figure out the cosets of R/I for some example. It takes a lot of reflection to really understand this.
