Ring theory | Quotient objects

Quotient ring

In ring theory, a branch of abstract algebra, a quotient ring, also known as factor ring, difference ring or residue class ring, is a construction quite similar to the quotient group in group theory and to the quotient space in linear algebra. It is a specific example of a quotient, as viewed from the general setting of universal algebra. Starting with a ring R and a two-sided ideal I in R, a new ring, the quotient ring R / I, is constructed, whose elements are the cosets of I in R subject to special + and ⋅ operations. (Only the fraction slash "/" is used in quotient ring notation, not a horizontal fraction bar.) Quotient rings are distinct from the so-called "quotient field", or field of fractions, of an integral domain as well as from the more general "rings of quotients" obtained by localization.

RNT1.4. Ideals and Quotient Rings

Ring Theory: We define ideals in rings as an analogue of normal subgroups in group theory. We give a correspondence between (two-sided) ideals and kernels of homomorphisms using quotient rings. We also state the First Isomorphism Theorem for Rings and give examples.

Quotient groups

The idea of a quotient group follows easily from cosets and Lagrange's theorem. In this video, we start with a normal subgroup and develop the idea of a quotient group, by viewing each coset (together with the normal subgroup) as individual mathematical objects in a set. This set, under

Visual Group Theory, Lecture 7.3: Ring homomorphisms A ring homomorphism is a structure preserving map between rings, which means that f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y) and f(xy)=f(x)f(y) both must hold. The kernel is always a two-sided ideal. There are four isomorphism theorems for rings, which are compl

Proof: Prime Ideal iff R/P is Integral Domain; Maximal iff R/M is Field

A very useful theorem in ring theory is the theorem that an ideal P is prime if and only if the quotient R/P is an integral domain (ID). Similarly, an ideal M is maximal if and only if R/M is a field. In this video, we prove both of these statements! Ring & Module Theory playlist: https:/

Now that we have defined and understand quotient groups, we need to look at product groups. In this video I define the product of two groups as well as the group operation, proving that it is indeed a group.
