1. I liked the first few pages of this section. But when it started into Cayley's Theorem I got a little lost - I don't really like having to dissect large proofs with weird notation :)
2. I have found that this textbook is loaded with material that is very complex. However, the more time I give myself to read each section, the more things I pick up on, and the more I learn. I think I just need to give myself more time for the sections. For example, I spent a good portion of 20 minutes on page 194 trying to understand the theorem and proof of Theorem 7.19, and I think I got it now. Also, the second example on page 93, I was confused with why they did not show that f(a)+f(b)=f(a+b) and then I realized that the operation shown in the book is not necessarily multiplication, it is the operation in G. Anyway, so time is good, I just don't know if I always can come by the necessary amount.
