8. 4 due April 8

This reading was neat. I was bugged at first that the book didn't offer proofs for the Sylow theorems but I didn't realize that they had a whole section for it. The hard part was actually reading through the proofs, but the weren't super difficult.

I'm interested in the idea of conjugacy equivalence. I wonder if groups can be constructed from conjugacy classes and if they would be any interesting.
