3.2

1. What was the most difficult part of the reading for you?
Let me start by saying 2 things. 1: I know I'm cutting it close. It's 11:48 and I am trying to hurry. 2: I realized the day after typing my last blog how silly I was for not catching that a "field" was mentioned in the reading for the class period before. I guess I was just sleepy and not thinking as well as I should have.
Anyway, to answer this questions, I'll say that something that concerns me for homework and a test is how much detail I need to worry about for these proofs. There were several times in the reading (like in proving Theorems 3.3, 3.4, 3.5...etc) when I was thinking to myself: Duh. It seems like these proofs are stating such silly and basic things with a lot of detail to get from point A to point B. I guess I can see why they are using that amount of detail, but I get worried that I won't know what I can use and what I shouldn't use when it comes to my proofs.

2. What can you do to overcome the thing you mentioned above?
I'm truthfully not exactly sure. I guess, as I've mentioned a couple of times in this blog, the important thing is to write down 1) the hypothesis, and the information you know because of that, 2) Your objective, or the thing you're trying to get to, and 3) fill in the stuff in between making logical connections that, though they seem obvious and silly, are important in proving your case. Doing this more on the homework will help me prepare for the test, so I'm going to try to be more detailed and a little more careful when it comes to stuff that I fell is silly.
