Notes
Started editing the article. I'm afraid it doesn't easily lead itself to being turned into prose.
Some points:
- I removed the existence of an identity element from the axioms.
- I cut down on the number of examples, rather focusing on the basic examples. If you are looking for examples of rings, I guess knowing that the set polynomials are rings is good enough, and knowing that the set of polynomials with coefficients in a ring i a ring only creates confusion. Same fact with matrices and functions.
- Should we say more about ideals?
- Removed "Basic theorems"
- Cut down on "Construction of new rings"
- History of the subject should be included. (Problem with regards to ring theory page)
Apart from that, I don't know what else should be here, except possibly some things from ring theory, if that is merged in. Maintaining a separate page on ideals could also be discussed. Simen Rustad 13:49, 2 November 2006 (CST)
