Sections 6.2-6.3 Due May 20

1. The definition of prime ideals was a little strange. I didn't understand how there could be infinitely many maximal ideals in Z, nor why the maximums have to be prime. I couldn't remember what a kernal was so all of the maps to the kernal K didn't make sense.
2. I like the idea of ideals and how the new notation is easier. I still have a hard time seeing applications of any of this though. It said something in the book about the Chinese Remainder Theorem, which sounds like something interesting.
