1. The hardest part for me to understand is distinguishing between the first form of the direct product and the standard Cartesian product. Is there any difference between the two?
2. I've seen direct sums before in vector spaces, and this seems to be a similar concept. We're decomposing G into normal subgroups (which are analogous to vector subspaces) that can be added together with no overlap to create G.
