8.5-8.6, due on February 22

Difficult: For this reading I found section 8.6 more difficult to understand. This is probably partly because I still feel a little unsure of things when it comes to equivalence classes. This probably stems to the confusion regarding how equivalence classes relate to residue classes. I think that once I get more comfortable with equivalence classes though then this section will make more sense because I will have more of an understanding of the foundation for it.

Reflective: I thought that section 8.5 in this reading was very easy to understand. This is due to the fact that I have already learned the ideas and concepts behind the information that is given in section 8.5 regarding congruence when dividing and modulos. Then the section applies all of this information to relations, without really adding any new information.
