Section 7.10, Due March 28

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


Because we haven't really discussed the alternate group yet, I think the whole proof of 7.52 was really confusing. I am still trying to understand multiplying a permutation with cyclic notation and I am struggling the proofs involving cyclic notation, so this section didn't really help with that since a lot of it was about that stuff.



Part II: Write something reflective about the reading.


I think Lemma 7.53 is really interesting because I understand it well and the proof makes a little more sense than the rest, but it seems like a really good way to understand the structure of alternate groups. Plus, it is crazy that this section was pretty much written so to prepare the reader for a proof so this lemma seems pretty important.
