9.4, due on Friday, February 11

1. The most difficult part of the reading was keeping straight all the new notions, with things like [a,b], (a,b), ~, and a/b. I am really bad with new notation and remembering what it all means and why, so that is the most difficult part of this new section.

2. It is interesting that this new material uses the terms of an integral domain and such, which I have never seen before this class, and connect them with equivalence relations, and the "~" symbol and meaning because we talked about that stuff in Math 190. But it has been awhile since I've had that class, so I don't remember a lot, but I do remember we did stuff with it, so it is neat that it connects to Abstract Algebra and integral domains.
