8.3, due April 11

I really liked how this section stated the Sylow Theorems and then showed how to apply them, putting their proofs off until later.  Some of the times when all that information was crammed into the same section it got really confusing.  I enjoyed the plethora of examples that the authors gave and the humor they sneaked into the footnotes :) As I read, I noticed that I was picking up on the gist of the theorems and the math the involved, but they weren't sinking in very deeply.  I was getting a little turned around in the general forms of the statements of the theorems themselves, but the examples helped set things right.
