5.1-5.3, due on May 16

(difficult)
The author stated several times the grand significance and subtlety of the results of these sections; I struggled to understand the implications. Some help flushing them out would be nice. It seems the example of the equivalence between the complex numbers and R/(x^2 + 1) is instructive.

(reflective)
Again, the author said these results are profound, and I'd like to appreciate more fully what he intends. The definition he gives for the complex numbers is intriguing.
