7.7, due on November 18

1. The hardest part for me was keeping the elements of the group distinct in my mind from the elements of the quotient group.  It's mostly a lot of notation to keep track of.  Also, I don't really understand the example about Q/Z.  It's hard for me to figure out just what those cosets look like.

2.  It's interesting to me to see just how quickly we are learning about groups compared to rings.  I guess it makes sense because it's later in the semester, but it feels like there is a lot more packed into each section than there was in the first few chapters.
