I was able to follow the theorems and their proofs, but when they applied it in the example problem I realized I didn't really have a grasp of the usefulness of the concept. After reading the example of 24x=5 in Z95, I had to go back and re-read the theorems again to understand what they had done to arrive at their answer of x=20.
Reflective:
I definitely appreciated the footnote directing me to Appendix A so I could remind myself what it means when they say "the following conditions are equivalent" as I had forgotten what exactly that meant. I didn't realize how much reading the various Appendixes would help me review my basic logic and proof skills!
