1. The main thing that I didn't quite understand from the reading was all of the conditions for a field. Initially it was the three conditions given on page 95. However, on page 97, there are another three conditions that are said to be used to construct a finite field. What is the difference between those two sets of conditions?
2. I really enjoyed reading about polynomials and fields. I have always been able to understand polynomials better than the modulus function, so hopefully that will help me with this section. I was also intrigued to be introduced to the idea of fields, but they make sense.They potentially seem very powerful.
