Difficult: The whole idea that sets (0,1) and R could be numerically equivalent seemed really weird to me at first. I have a hard time with the abstract sense to this proof. However, when I would think about them each as two separate sets, (0,1) and R, and focus on them individually then I understood the logic a little bit better.
Reflective: What I liked about this proof was how it used concepts from calculus to help prove it. I really like calculus and more mechanical forms of math that focus more on arithmetic type stuff. I have an easier time understanding those ideas because they seem less abstract to me. This sense of familiarity helped me understand the idea behind this proof.
