1. What was the most difficult part of the reading for you?
I'm sure that you'd expect that I'd get lost at some point... so I'll just say when. I started getting lost during Theorem 5.3.3 (Mostly, I got confused about part (2). But, I'm assuming it's because I need to review that malarky.
After that, I got completely totally completely lost as they started bringing up the AKS algorithm. I mean.... what? It was so so so oh so confusing for me. I'm guessing (hoping) it's because it's so new and stuff. I mean... wow.
2. What was the most interesting part of the reading for you?
Though the part where I got lost made me want to cry, it also fascinated me that something that seems pretty important in the mathematical world has been proven post-2000. Not only that, but it even made it into this crazy book. So, I think that's cool and I want to know how much money that they made for deriving this algorithm.
