1. (Difficult) "What was the most difficult part of the material for you?"
The most difficult part of the material was following how the proofs work for some of the corollaries and theorem sthat deal with homomorphism and isomorphism. For example, I have a hard time connecting Corollary 3.13 with the work we did with subrings from the previous sections. There are too many definitions, rules, and theorems to keep up with to understand all these weird properties for homomorphism and isomorphism.
2. (Reflective) Write something reflective about the reading. This could be the answer to the question "What was the most interesting part of the material?" or "How does this material connect to something else you have learned in mathematics?" or "How is this material useful/relevant to your intellectual or career interests?" or something else.
I think it is interesting how functions have popped back into this mathematics. I would not have expected functions to be included in working with rings or with our new concepts of homomorphism and isomorphism. It is interesting how most mathematics relates to all other parts of mathematics as well. Crazy!
