1 Lecture 22 More on Rings
2 Last time: A ring is a set R with two binary operations, and, such that pr, q is an abelian group, pr, q is a semigroup (no identity or inverses), and the distributive property holds.
3 Last time: A ring is a set R with two binary operations, and, such that pr, q is an abelian group, pr, q is a semigroup (no identity or inverses), and the distributive property holds. A zero divisor is an element a P R such that ab 0 or ba 0 for some b. A unit is an element of a ring with 1 that has an inverse.
4 Last time: A ring is a set R with two binary operations, and, such that pr, q is an abelian group, pr, q is a semigroup (no identity or inverses), and the distributive property holds. A zero divisor is an element a P R such that ab 0 or ba 0 for some b. A unit is an element of a ring with 1 that has an inverse. A ring is commutative if pr, q is commutative. (e.g. Z) An integral domain is where R has no zero divisors. (e.g. Z) (Recall: I.D. s have cancellation properties for non-zero-divisors.) A division ring is where pr, q is a group. (e.g. Q) A field is where pr, q is an abelian group. (e.g. Q)
5 More examples, more formality: Polynomial rings Definition Let R be a commutative ring with identity. The formal sum a n x n a n 1 x n 1 a 1 x a 0 with n 0 and each a i P R is called a polynomial in x with coefficients a i in R.
6 More examples, more formality: Polynomial rings Definition Let R be a commutative ring with identity. The formal sum a n x n a n 1 x n 1 a 1 x a 0 with n 0 and each a i P R is called a polynomial in x with coefficients a i in R. If a n 0, the polynomial is of degree n, a n x n is the leading term and a n is the leading coefficient. The polynomial is monic if a n 1.
7 More examples, more formality: Polynomial rings Definition Let R be a commutative ring with identity. The formal sum a n x n a n 1 x n 1 a 1 x a 0 with n 0 and each a i P R is called a polynomial in x with coefficients a i in R. If a n 0, the polynomial is of degree n, a n x n is the leading term and a n is the leading coefficient. The polynomial is monic if a n 1. The set of all such polynomials is the ring of polynomials in the x with coefficients in R, denoted Rrxs. The ring R appears in Rrxs as the constant polynomials.
