The most difficult thing for me about this section is all of the new vocabulary and concepts. Some of it has been vaguely introduced in previous classes but there are still a lot of new ideas. Keeping the different definitions separated and straight in my mind is confusing right now, but should make more sense with practice.
The most interesting part of this reading for me is that you can create a ring any way you want, defining the rules of that ring in many different ways. It is also interesting that there are so many connections between the facts we know about integers, integers modulo ( ), and so many of the other sets of numbers we typically explore.
