The Exciting
When I first read the example of (6/11)(7/11), I couldn't figure out why (6/11) was -1, but then I was able to spend a minute thinking about it and was able to figure out why. Exciting to understand something new! Most of the properties in this chapter seemed to make sense which is very comforting.
The Challenging (dun dun dun)
I am ashamed to admit that I don't really understand the proof we did in class today about the primitive roots, and didn't realize that I didn't get it until I was looking at the proof in the book.
I wish I could understand how the book calculated that nasty fraction! It seemed crazy the way they sequenced it.
