5.1

(sorry, I'm feeling pretty sick as I'm writing this, so it'll be short and sweet)
1. What was the most difficult part of the reading for you?
Though there were examples given, perhaps it's because of how I'm feeling, but I'm still not exactly sure what this is saying about polynomial congruence. Well, I guess that isn't true, but the first example of page 122 kind of scared me. I'm going to reread it when my head isn't hurting my soul, but for now I'm just intimidated and scared.


2. Helping to understand
The thing that I think will help me the best is similar to something that I said way back in chapter 1, and that is to always write stuff out when it comes to congruence classes with polynomials the exact same way that I did for the integers.
