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...?
