1. The most difficult part of this special guest lecture to understand was where exactly everything he was saying fits into mathematics, particularly to my learning of mathematics. While many of the terms and steps he did in the proofs he was showing were familiar to me, I did not understand what he was trying to do. Additionally, I have a really hard time understanding many people that lecture, including him. So when I can't understand what they are saying, I have a hard time following their thoughts and knowledge.
2. The most interesting part of this lecture was the fact that it was the first mathematics guest lecture I have attended. Sometimes I get stuck in a bubble of thinking that the math we are doing is not universal and that BYU has its own way of doing proofs and math and such. However, attending this lecture opens my mind up to the world that mathematics and the way of proving them are universal. While I could not really follow what was going on, I could see him write down symbols and steps of the proof that I did understand and that I have used before and that was really cool. I am glad I attended.
