ring with unit element
1Ring (mathematics) — This article is about algebraic structures. For geometric rings, see Annulus (mathematics). For the set theory concept, see Ring of sets. Polynomials, represented here by curves, form a ring under addition and multiplication. In mathematics, a… …
2Unit ring — In mathematics, a unit ring or ring with a unit is a unital ring, i.e. a ring R with a (multiplicative) unit element, denoted by 1 R or simply 1 if there is no risk of confusion. Alternative definitions of a ring Some authors (such as Herstein)… …
3Unit — may refer to:In mathematics: * Unit vector, a vector with length equal to 1 * Unit circle, the circle with radius equal to 1, centered at the origin * Unit interval, the interval of all real numbers between 0 and 1 * Imaginary unit, i , whose… …
4Unit (ring theory) — In mathematics, a unit in a (unital) ring R is an invertible element of R , i.e. an element u such that there is a v in R with : uv = vu = 1 R , where 1 R is the multiplicative identity element.That is, u is an invertible element of the… …

6Simple ring — In abstract algebra, a simple ring is a non zero ring that has no ideal besides the zero ideal and itself. A simple ring can always be considered as a simple algebra.According to the Artin Wedderburn theorem, every simple ring that is left or… …
7Glossary of ring theory — Ring theory is the branch of mathematics in which rings are studied: that is, structures supporting both an addition and a multiplication operation. This is a glossary of some terms of the subject. Contents 1 Definition of a ring 2 Types of… …
8Ring homomorphism — In ring theory or abstract algebra, a ring homomorphism is a function between two rings which respects the operations of addition and multiplication. More precisely, if R and S are rings, then a ring homomorphism is a function f : R → S such that …
