Exam 1 reflections, due February 9

On this first exam I'm expecting to see a few practical application problems and proofs of major theorems.  I imagine it being structured much like a homework assignment.  I could also see the possibility of a few definitions being on there, but I would expect these to be the less common definitions that don't necessarily apply to many theorems.  The more common definitions will show up in the proofs of the theorems themselves.  I would think that we would be asked to state and prove big theorems like the handful that have actual names (the Division Algorithm, the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, etc).  The one thing that I am the least confident on is associates.  That is one thing that I need to practice and study more just to try and make sense of it before I take the exam.
