8.5, due on October 17

What was the most difficult part of the material for you?
At the very end of the section I had a hard time understanding why not all equivalence relations in terms of the integers mod n have n distinct equivalence classes. The example helped that fact make a little more sense in my mind. Maybe all linear congruence mod n relations have n distinct equivalence classes?

What was the most interesting part of the material for you?
I think it's interesting to study a new definition of congruence modulo n that uses our understanding of relations. I think it brings a deeper understanding of congruence than we had before.
