1. What was the most difficult part of the reading for you
One of the (many) things that I still don't understand from this (never ending) section is the stuff behind/around/about the constants "A" and now "B". I mean, I understand that they are being used to approximate some information, and that we can throw them around these inequality statements, but what confuses me is following what they are, where they come from, and why they matter. I mean, it just seems that so far they've only been able to give really poor statements about things that we already knew... So... why?
2. What was the most interesting part of the reading for you?
I guess that Bertrand's Theorem was probably the most interesting statement to me. I didn't follow the proof as well as I'd like (it deals with ideas I'm still not totally comfortable with) but just as a statement of n<p<2n, that seems pretty strong and very interesting. I hope to learn more about that, because it really does seem pretty cool.
