🗑
multiplicative identity   ax=1  
🗑
additive inverse   a+x=o  
🗑
multiplicative inverse   [a][n]=1  
🗑
subring   ring closed under multiplication and subtraction  
🗑
commutative ring   xy=yx  
🗑
unity   multiplicative identity  
🗑
units   ab=ba=1 (a is a unit)  
🗑
zero divisor   R is a commutative ring, a does not equal 0, b does not equal 0, ab=0  
🗑
integral domain   commutative ring but has no zero divisors  
🗑
field   commutative ring with unity in which every non-zero element is a unit  
🗑
factor of a polynomial   something you can factor out with remainder 0  
🗑

🗑
Theorem 8.1   Suppose R is an integral domain and a,b,c are elements of R with a not equal to 0. If ab=ac, then b=c  
🗑
Theorem 8.2   A field has no zero divisors  
🗑
Theorem 8.5   Zn is a field iff n is prime  
🗑
Theorem 8.6   Let o less than x less than m. Then [x] is a unit in the ring Zm iff gcd (x,m)=1  
🗑
Theorem 8.8   All finite domains are fields  
🗑
examples of finite fields   Z5, Z3, Z2  
🗑
examples of infinite field   Q  
🗑

🗑
field without unity   impossible  
🗑
ring without unity   2Z (even integers)  
🗑
polynomial in Q[x], reducible in Q[x] but has no roots in Q   x^4 -4  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
