6.2 Part 2

1. What was the hardest part of the reading for you?

Maybe it's because the first part of this reading was already covered in class, so that stuff was pretty easy, but I struggled with the First Isomorphism Theorem. I read through it a couple of times, and I still don't really understand exactly what it's saying. Usually when that happens I can understand it by reading the proof, but the proof in the book mostly confused me. It just has so many words!

2. A Rant:
 It's silly, and a little embarrassing, but  I wanted to scream when I realized they were using "pi" as a function, rather than functioning as the "pi" we all know and love. Why couldn't they use any of the other 24 letters of the alphabet (not counting the commonly used f and g) or any of the other Greek letters at their disposal?!? It's silly, I know, but that really made me stop and think each time they used it. WTF.
