Notes

Started editing the first two sections of the article. I'm afraid it doesn't easily lead itself to being turned into prose.

Some points:

  • I removed the existence of an identity element from the axioms.
  • I cut down on the number of examples, rather focusing on the basic examples. If you are looking for examples of rings, I guess knowing that the set polynomials are rings is good enough, and knowing that the set of polynomials with coefficients in a ring i a ring only creates confusion. Same fact with matrices and functions.
  • In my opinion, the "Basic theorems" should go; at least in the current form
  • "Constructing new Rings..." needs cleanup.
  • History of the subject should be included.
