5.4-5.5, February 4

1.(difficult) Everything was pretty straight-forward. However, the proof the book gives of Result 5.24 is barely follow able. I could not see where the basis for the proof came from. It was confusing to say the least.
2.(reflective) There is one sentence that would have made all of the difference in my initial interactions with proofs: "In a proof, we are not required to explain where we got the idea for the proof". I often felt like I had to explain where my knowledge of the beginning of the proof come from. This is KEY information!
