    Well, Following you since Very long time for problem solving,
    After long time,
    Today I needed To recall some concepts of Ring theory and I found you Again.... Made me smile...
    Thank you Professor... 🙌🏻😀

    Great video, i've noticed you define a ring without the need for a neutral element for the second operation, but all textbooks I've seen insist on needing the neutral element for it to be called a true ring. I guess that's a matter of convention ?

      You're right, it's a matter of convention. Here doi:10.1080/0025570X.2018.1538714 is a good defence of all rings have multiplicative identity: it allows us to define products of any finite (even length 0) sequence of elements.

    In Wikipedia, it is stated that a "ring" does have a multiplicative identity, meaning that (R, *) forms a monoid rather than just a semigroup. Additionally, "rng" satisfies the conditions mentioned in your video.

    But why is it called a ring? Does it have to do with how you can imagine the structure conceptually?

    • @SP-qi8ur

      No, in the orginal German it referred to a group of related objects, much like groups. Think of how a phrase like "drug ring" is used in English nowadays.

      I teach my class from Judson (abstract.ups.edu/), but use some other books as self references: essentially anything that is nearby, which recently has been Dummit and Foote

      I found a discussion of this question: math.stackexchange.com/questions/61497/why-are-rings-called-rings
      I have to admit, I wasn't aware of any of this before reading through this page.

    I dont understand why does not 2Z have any identity element?

    • @iabervon
      @iabervon 4 года назад

      The operations both work like the operations for Z, but 1 isn't in 2Z, so there can't be an identity. (There's always an additive identity in a ring by definition, so when he says there isn't an identity, he means that there isn't a multiplicative identity.)

      @@iabervon so that means 2Z is a ring since it has additive identity!

      @sapientum8 4 года назад +2

      There is no element by which to multiply another element so that it would remain the same. This element in R is 1, but in 2R it's missing because 2R contains only even numbers.

      It's implicit in referring to + and . as binary operations.
