5.1, Due on February 14

Difficult:
For me, the most difficult part of this section was when it talked about the congruence classes. I think this would be so hard to find the congruence classes, and determine how many congruence classes there are. This section is going to be more difficult than congruence classes of integers because I think dividing polynomials is way harder! I am going to have a hard time finding congruence classes, and even knowing what things are of the same congruence class.

Connections:
I like that this section pretty much mirrors the section on congruence classes for integers. It follows the same kinds of properties and definitions as it did in the other section, but this time the dividing part will be much more difficult. It will be harder to recognize when something is in the same congruence classes because sometimes it is harder to see what is going on with polynomials. Hopefully my understanding of congruence classes for integers will help me understand it better for polynomials.
