Difficult to understand:
At this point most of abstract algebra is what you would call "difficult" to me. In fact, the difficult thing about it is trying to really narrow it down to what is difficult. :) I comprehended most of the section, but I know that I really do not understand it yet because I know that I will be confused as soon as I start the homework problems. I think what is really difficult for me right now is to visualize how all of the groups and numbers relate to one another. I was confused about what an automorphism is because I do not think it was explained very well. Is it just an isomorphism from G to G?
Interesting:
Abstract is definitely getting to abstract for me at this point. Right now it seems like they are just throwing around letters and making up groups and connections and relations. The kind of math that I really appreciate is the math that relates more with the physical world rather than the imaginary, patterned world.
