WEBSimply put, an ideal is a very special type of subring, with the added property that if a is in the ideal and r is in the ring, r times a is in the ideal (even if r is not in the ideal). Subrings don't have this extra property in general.
WEBif A;B are ideals in R, then A+ B = fa+ b : a 2A; b 2Bgand A\B are also ideals in R. Ex: Recall from high school algebra that a real number r is the root of a polynomial p(x) if and only if x r is a factor of p(x).
WEBDefinition. Let R be a ring. An ideal S of R is a subset S ⊂ R such that: (a) S is closed under addition: If a,b ∈ S, then a+b ∈ S. (b) The zero element of R is in S: 0 ∈ S. (c) S is closed under additive inverses: If a ∈ S, then −a ∈ S. (d) If …
WEBIn mathematics, and more specifically in ring theory, an ideal of a ring is a special subset of its elements. Ideals generalize certain subsets of the integers, such as the even numbers or the multiples of 3.
WEBA subring of a ring (R, +, *, 0, 1) is a subset S of R that preserves the structure of the ring, i.e. a ring (S, +, *, 0, 1) with S ⊆ R. Equivalently, it is both a subgroup of (R, +, 0) and a submonoid of (R, *, 1).
WEBExample 1.5 (Ideals of Z). Let us find the ideals of the ring Z. Since it is commutative, there is no difference between left and right ideals. Let I be an ideal of Z, in particular I is a subgroup of (Z,+) and so by our previous classification of such subgroups, we have I = dZ for some integer d ≥ 0.

WEB(Think of ideals as \normal subrings"). Find a simple algebraic characterization of ideal, just like the characterization of normal subgroups as \closed under conjuga-tion".
WEBApr 17, 2022 · I is a left ideal (respectively, right ideal) of R if I is a subring and rI ⊆ I (respectively, Ir ⊆ I) for all r ∈ R. I is an ideal (or two-sided ideal) if I is both a left and a right ideal. Here’s a summary of everything that just happened.
