Section 6.3

Difficult: I am having a bit of trouble understanding why, if P is prime, then R/P is only an integral domain and not a field.

Reflective: I think the idea of prime ideals is really interesting. I am also interested to find out more about maximal ideals and why they can form fields with R/M but why R/P cannot.
