2.1 Due January 8

I am curious if these concepts apply in the reals or complex numbers and not only in the integers?
Question answered.  Only on integers is modular arithmetic defined.


The definition of [a]=[b] was a difficult concept to pick up and I appreciated the examples in the book that explained how the definition applies for the congruency relationship of a congruent to b mod n.

I enjoyed writing out and solving the proof using symmetry, transitivity, and reflexivity.  I also liked the example of proving that a-b=nk, b-c=ln, then a-c=mn.  But I still want to check and prove if k=l=m...?
