Section 5.1

Difficult: Although the theorems were fairly simple and I had seen them before in chapter two, I still find it difficult to directly apply them to F[x]. In this section, there were hardly any proofs, so it was hard for me to visualize the theorems in F[x]. Hopefully we will go over some of the proofs in class so that I can understand them better.

Reflective: I think that the theorems about congruence modulo n in F[x] are really interesting. I never thought of applying rules about mod n to F[x]. I want to investigate further and find out if congruence mod n can be recognized or is useful in other contexts. I hope to look at this more.
