A Smarandache ring of level I (or S-ring I) is a ring that contains a proper subset that is a field with respect to the operations induced. This notion has been introduced by Smarandache and Padilla in 1998. The S-ring II has been introduced by the author as a ring that contains a proper subset \(A\) with the following properties: \(A\) is an additive Abelian group; \(A\) is a semigroup with respect to multiplication; \(a\cdot b=0\) iff \(a=0\) or \(b=0\) in \(A\). In Chapters 3 and 4 (the first two are of introductory nature in ring theory) the author studies these S-rings, and many other notions (over 70) related to them. Finally, the last chapter contains a number of 200 problems on ring- as well as S-ring theory. The researchers involved in ring theory will have the real pleasure to investigate many interesting new notions and connections to various known results.
