This section was by far the most difficult to understand. The notation during the majority of the chapter was so confusing. For most of the time I didn't know what was going on. I think where I started getting most confused was when the chapter started talking about integral domains and proving that F is a field. I also don't understand what is being talked about in equivalence classes of quotients. Is that saying that any fraction that can be simplified is in the same equivalence relation with each of it's reduced forms?
The most interesting part of the section was when the book all of a sudden decided to tell me all the confusing notation represents typical division symbols. I was a little perturbed by the fact that the whole chapter hadn't been written using this format because I think I might understand it a little better. I was glad though that this chapter finally covers division so we can begin using that fact.
