Section 7.2, Due March 1

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

Theorem 7.8 was a lot to take in, since it really is like 4 theorems. When reading the proof for 3 and 4, I was really confused and I think it will help to actually go over them in class. The proof for part 2 was a little confusing as well, but it makes sense why proving 2 would also prove part 1. 

Part II: Write something reflective about the reading.  

The finite order of an element a in a group is a really interesting idea. I first tried to think of examples to make sense of what this means, but in the integers and rational and real numbers, there is no number that has finite order. Then, when I read the examples in the book, it made sense of what kinds of elements would have finite order.
