6.2 part I, due on February 18

Difficult: So I know that quotient rings are analogous to the integers mod something or F[x]/(p(x)). But what is the difference? I am still trying to figure out exactly what it is. What does the book mean when it says: "One sometimes speaks of factoring out the ideal I to obtain the quotient ring R/I."?


Reflective: This is abstract stuff. Hopefully I catch up with it in class.
