Section 7.10

Difficult: This was a hard section for me to understand. Specifically, I don't really understand why alternating groups are so significant and why it makes such a difference that a subgroup is classified as alternating.

Reflective: I think it's interesting that there are so many properties that can be found from simple groups and alternating groups, and I think it's interesting that every element of and alternating group is the product of 3 cycles.
