Exercises in basic ring theory

From MaRDI portal





The authors present a collection of 346 exercises concerning rings. The intention of the authors was to cover only the easy part of ring theory. The book is divided into two parts each consisting of seventeen chapters, the first part containing the exercises and the second part containing all the solutions to these exercises. The authors tried to draw up these solutions as detailed as possible, so that each beginner can progress without skilled help. The chapters of the book are: 1) Fundamentals; 2) Ideals; 3) Zero divisors; 4) Ring homomorphisms; 5) Characteristics; 6) Divisibility in integral domains; 7) Division rings; 8) Automorphisms; 9) The tensor product; 10) Artinian and Noetherian rings; 11) Socle and radical; 12) Semisimple rings; 13) Prime ideals, local rings; 14) Polynomial rings; 15) Rings of quotients; 16) Rings of continuous functions; 17) Special problems. Each chapter begins with a short introduction giving the basic definitions and results one should know in order to solve the corresponding exercises. Some basic facts concerning groups and modules (vector spaces) are naturally assumed (e.g. cyclic groups, Lagrange theorem, etc.). Also simple topology notions and results are assumed especially in the chapter devoted to rings of continuous functions.
