Euclidean domain

In mathematics, more specifically in ring theory, a Euclidean domain (also called a Euclidean ring) is an integral domain that can be endowed with a which allows a suitable generalization of the Euclidean division of integers. This generalized Euclidean algorithm can be put to many of the same uses as Euclid's original algorithm in the ring of integers: in any Euclidean domain, one can apply the Euclidean algorithm to compute the greatest common divisor of any two elements. In particular, the greatest common divisor of any two elements exists and can be written as a linear combination of them (Bézout's identity). Also every ideal in a Euclidean domain is principal, which implies a suitable generalization of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic: every Euclidean domain is a unique factorization domain. It is important to compare the class of Euclidean domains with the larger class of principal ideal domains (PIDs). An arbitrary PID has much the same "structural properties" of a Euclidean domain (or, indeed, even of the ring of integers), but when an explicit algorithm for Euclidean division is known, one may use the Euclidean algorithm and extended Euclidean algorithm to compute greatest common divisors and Bézout's identity. In particular, the existence of efficient algorithms for Euclidean division of integers and of polynomials in one variable over a field is of basic importance in computer algebra. So, given an integral domain R, it is often very useful to know that R has a Euclidean function: in particular, this implies that R is a PID. However, if there is no "obvious" Euclidean function, then determining whether R is a PID is generally a much easier problem than determining whether it is a Euclidean domain. Euclidean domains appear in the following chain of class inclusions: rngs ⊃ rings ⊃ commutative rings ⊃ integral domains ⊃ integrally closed domains ⊃ GCD domains ⊃ unique factorization domains ⊃ principal ideal domains ⊃ ⊃ fields ⊃ algebraically closed fields (Wikipedia).

RNT2.3. Euclidean Domains

Ring Theory: We define Euclidean domains as integral domains with a division algorithm. We show that euclidean domains are PIDs and UFDs, and that Euclidean domains allow for the Euclidean algorithm and Bezout's Identity.

Geometry: Introduction to the Polygon (quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon and more)

Learn the definition of polygon - a very important shape in geometry. When a polygon has a small number of sides, there is a word you use instead of "polygon". We teach you the names of polygons with 3 to 10 sides. To learn more Geometry, you can watch our playlist from the beginning:

Domain of a simple rational function in interval and set notation

👉 Learn how to find the domain of rational functions. Recall that the domain of a function is the set of possible input values (x-values) of the function. For a rational function, the denominator cannot be zero. Thus, to find the domain of a rational function, we first find the values of x
