Difficult:
I do not know enough about groups yet to really define was is most difficult about them that I have learned so far. I know that once I start doing problems, certain difficulties will arise and then I find myself saying, "Goodness, the most difficult thing about groups is (this)!" But until then everything is kind of smashed into a ball of knowledge in my head. I guess you can say the most difficult thing about this section was the whole section. :) I mean I understood everything that I read, but don't think I will honestly understand what I have read until I do some homework problems.
Reflective:
It is amazing to me how many different ways we can find patterns in mathematics. I really enjoyed looking at the shape example with the square and the different ways to move the square. It was a great way to introduce the idea of dihedral groups. I am fairly enjoying this section and I hope to grasp its ideas better than I did with the rings.
