4.1-4.2, due January 24

A. There have been a lot of new definitions and symbols in these last couple of sections. I am really working on keeping up and keeping things straight but it is a little bit tough remembering what things mean and what is the proper way to go about a certain problem.  I enjoyed and found helpful the review we had at the beginning of class. Also is there anything happening in the math lab for our class? It would be great to work in groups to discuss strategies and get better acquainted with these style of proofs.

B. I thought the proofs involving congruence of integers were particularly interesting. It takes the divisibility of integers to the next step. By looking at the result and evaluating what it is saying and thinking about how to do it, they can be taken apart and proved. I like the proof strategy in result 4.12.
