Questions

2.6: Rohit's method: is there a way to use the fact that Hom(,M) is a left exact contravariant functor and Hom (A,M) = M, to show that left adjoints are right exact in A-mod?

Ed's crazy ring of functions: what is the union of ideals generated by subsequences? How about maximal ideals?

3.1: Geometric Interpretation of m/m^2 ?
