8.2, due April 8

I've felt a little behind and confused since we started chapter 8. I feel like I understand enough to be able to do the homework but I typically have a hard time reading through the chapter and understand amidst the new notation and the logic of the proofs. Since I already feel behind, each new section is difficult for me to understand as well. It does it significantly better after the lecture, I just feel like I missed something. The Fundamental Theorem of Finite Abelian Groups is pretty cool just because it seems pretty simple/straightforward. The most difficult thing for me right now is probably keeping the notation for groups straight (especially with the direct sum vs direct product) and also applying theorems from previous, recent sections.
