6.2, due February 18th

1. Ok, the book called it out on this one. Page 146, the definitions of addition and multiplication of cosets in R/I. I guess it might be one of those things that you just have to make yourself learn without understanding it completely. Like when the teacher says, "That's just how it is..." I understand it is the definition and everything, but I want to add the I's together and get 2 I's and multiply the other multiplication rule out... I guess it might be something that I just have to memorize and learn without really completely understanding. Along with that, I don't like that there are 3 entirely different meanings to the plus sign; plus is plus people! Anyway, I'm sure you'll explain it tomorrow and I'll get it!
2. I like how we've gone over all this stuff before except that now we're using ideals and hopefully I'll get used to that and understand it. I'll try to not read too far ahead, except for that I'm curious... So I will, I just won't tell you about it until Thursday night. :)
