1. I did not understand what the distinction is and why the distinction was so important between the different representations of x in the statement f(x)=x^2-3x+2 and the the rule of the function f:R->R. How will this distinction help us? Also I did not understand corollary 4.18. I am thinking I just need to get a better grasp on what irreducable means...
2. I love how this stuff relates to easily to what we already know about polynomials - it is just way more intense than what we already have been taught - I guess this is why they call this class ABSTRACT Algebra. I am definitely okay with trying to find roots and factoring, so this stuff is pretty cool.
