1. The idea of a maximal ideal was a bit tricky for me, since we've never covered anything similar before in this class. It was easier to see how prime ideals connect to the ideas of primes and irreducibles.
2. It was interesting to me that I being prime no longer implies that F[x]/I is a field. That's something that our intuition from previous chapters definitely wouldn't have predicted.
