Rings with identity

Abbreviation: Rng1

Definition

A \emph{ring with identity} is a structure R=R,+,,0,,1 of type 2,1,0,2,0 such that

R,+,,0, is a ring

1 is an identity for : x1=x, 1x=x

Morphisms

Let R and S be rings with identity. A morphism from R to S is a function h:RS that is a homomorphism:

h(x+y)=h(x)+h(y), h(xy)=h(x)h(y), h(1)=1

Remark: It follows that h(0)=0 and h(x)=h(x).

Examples

Example 1: Z,+,,0,,1, the ring of integers with addition, subtraction, zero, multiplication, and one.

Basic results

0 is a zero for : 0x=0 and x0=0.
