4.2, due on 2/2

1. It wasn't completely clear whether or not monic meant only the leading coefficient is 1 on just the highest degree polynomial or all of the non constant ones.  Also is 5 monic or is 1 monic?

2.  I thought it was interesting how most of the proofs were one-liners because they were the same as chapter 1 proofs.  I also thought it was interesting how again the simplistic, practically trivial stuff from chapter 1 applies directly to these abstract fields.
