Section 7.3, Due March 3

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

The proof for theorem 7.15 was really confusing. It kept referencing back to previous theorems and I kept trying to make sense of the flow of the proof, but I didn't understand how they got that every element of G is a root of the polynomial x^m -1. I don't even understand what that means and why it is even mentioned in this theorem.

Part II: Write something reflective about the reading.  

At first the cyclic subgroup generated by a made sense and it seemed pretty easy to grasp. Then when they talked about a subgroup generated by S, it seemed a little bit difficult but then I saw the relation between the two and it made more sense.
