Difficult:
I was massively confused on reading this material. The ideas still make sense, but the explanations and notation are all going over my head. For instance, I assume the square bracket notation at the end of lemma 5.14 is about dimension, but I can't remember for sure. Also, the notation in definition 5.15 was confusing until I realized it was about commutativity. I even had to look up what a basis was to understand lemma 5.14. This is why I need a professor to explain math to me.
Reflective:
I do like that the commutativity idea from definition 4.12 finally got utilized in theorem 5.16. Likewise, it pleases me to go back to the vector spaces of linear algebra, though the notation is all lost on me now. I feel like Shakespeare in this respect, of whom it was said that he could tell you an excellent story as long as you told it to him first. For all the intelligence I claim to have, I can only seem to learn some things from other people.
