7.10, due April 4

This section wasn't too bad, but the proof of that first theorem was REALLY long and at times was a little hard to follow.  It was hard to keep track of what each symbol/variable was representing and what they were being used for.  One thing I learned while reading this section was that normally when you see (123) you read it "one hundred twenty-three" but this is not how it is meant to be read in cycle notation.  In cycle notation these are individual integers.   I found myself instinctively reading it the way it is meant for cycle notation instead of the normal way I would usually think about it.
