6.1 Due February 22

Difficult)))
The absorption property of an ideal seems very useful.  I like the fact that congruence and theorem 6.1 build a useful application for the use of an ideal and it will be interesting to connect the relavency in rings as I gain more understanding about the ideal.  Right now I barely understand the idea of an ideal, but with the homework and a lot more examples, I should be able ot understand it much better.

Reflective)))
It looks like we have seen many ideals in the book so far...like identity in any ring is an ideal, but the concept of a finitely generated ideal looks like a property of polynomial rings.
But I am stuck on any other relationship or value that the ideal gives us...
