Difficult: The concepts of rings and fields are slightly difficult to understand at first because I'm not sure how they will be used and applied. I want to know what their relationship is to the integers. I also don't know what they mean by "abstracting" algebra.
Reflective: I think that these rings are somewhat similar to vector spaces that we learned about in linear algebra. They are both sets of arbitrary elements that have a certain number of axioms to satisfy. I hope this will come in handy in the future as I am trying to understand what rings and fields are.
