Part I: What was the most difficult part of the material for you?
The very first example in the book is what started my confusion. It isn't a big confusion but I am still confused. I don't understand how r1*t^-1=r1*t. I really just don't understand what the inverse of t is and such. For the most part, this section was easy to understand, but I am a little lost on the group D4, so I think I just need to revisit that. I also was confused on how theorem 6.5 for groups would only work on Abelian groups, but I am sure we will discuss that more in class.
Part II: Write something reflective about the reading.
It is really interesting to connect the ideas of rings and ideal to groups now. It scares me a little bit because ring quotients were pretty confusing so I hope that connecting those ideas to groups isn't too confusing.
