Difficult: The most difficult part of the material was understand the proofs given in the text, particularly the proof of Theorem 1.1 in Section 1.1. There were parts of the proofs that I had a hard time understanding because I couldn't see the connection between two steps. This has always been difficult for me.
Reflective: I think that the Euclidean Algorithm is very interesting. Last semester I took a math education class and we learned about how to teach the greatest common divisor, and I love this way of doing it. I think it's so interesting that the numbers are all so closely connected, and the the common factors of two numbers can be expressed as a linear combination of those two numbers.
