		The two-element Boolean algebra is also important in the general theory of Boolean algebras, because an equation involving several variables is generally true in all Boolean algebras if and only if it is true in the two-element Boolean algebra (which can always be checked by a trivial brute force algorithm).
		Every Boolean algebra (A, ∧, ∨) gives rise to a ring (A, +, ) by defining a + b = (a ∧ ¬b) ∨ (b ∧ ¬a) (this operation is called "symmetric difference" in the case of sets and XOR in the case of logic) and a b = a ∧ b.
		An ideal of the Boolean algebra A is a subset I such that for all x, y in I we have x ∨ y in I and for all a in A we have a ∧ x in I.

		A proper ideal I is called a prime ideal if for all ab in I it follows either a or b in I.
		Similarly, the right ideals are submodules of R as a right module over itself, and the two-sided ideals are submodules of R as a bimodule over itself.
		Ideals are important because they appear as the kernels of ring homomorphisms and allow one to define factor rings, as will be described next.

		An ideal can be used to construct a factor ring in a similar way as a normal subgroup in group theory can be used to construct a factor group.
		The sum and the intersection of ideals is again an ideal; with these two operations as join and meet, the set of all ideals of a given ring forms a lattice.
		The term "ideal" comes from the notion of ideal number: ideals were seen as a generalization of the concept of number.

	Ultrafilter lemma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This statement is in fact an easy consequence of the Boolean prime ideal theorem that is commonly used in order theory.
		Note: It seems to be quite reasonable to merge this article into other articles: most of all Boolean prime ideal theorem, but the characterization of ultrafilters (maximal filters, prime filters) of Boolean algebras of which the above proof is a special instance, would fit well into Boolean algebra.
		It would also be helpful to clarify whether this entails the Boolean prime ideal theorem (thus being equivalent) or not.

		The theorem relating convergence almost everywhere and uniform convergence by D F Egorov, one of Bugaev's pupils, in 1911 is seen as marking the beginning of the Moscow school of the theory of functions of a real variable.
		Theorem 2 of Euclid's Phaenomena consists of four propositions with proofs for only three of them while the missing one is replaced by the remark "that this is the case has been shown elsewhere"; indeed theorem and proof are found as Theorem 10 in Autolycus's 'Rotating Sphere'.
		The theorem is then a sort of topological form of the particle-wave equivalence of quantum mechanics, and the quest for 'truly' understanding these and analogous dualities has been one of the great motivating forces in the mathematics of the last fifty years.

		In Boolean algebras, unlike rings in general, there is no difference between a prime ideal and a maximal ideal.
		Because within the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms of set theory, it is strictly weaker than the well-known theorem of algebra of which it is but a special case, and mathematical logicians have taken an interest in showing that it is formally equivalent to various other propositions in mathematics.

	Rings
		Closely related is the notion of ideals, certain subsets of rings which arise as kernels of homomorphisms and can serve to define factor rings.
		In commutative ring theory, numbers are often replaced by ideals, and the definition of prime ideal tries to capture the essence of prime numbers.
		Principal ideal domains are integral domains in which every ideal can be generated by a single element, another property shared by the integers.

	LFCS Theory Seminar -- Tuesday 13 July 1999
		Intervals in boolean algebras enter into the study of conditional assertions (or events) in two ways: directly, either from intuitive arguments or from Goodman, Nguyen and Walker's representation theorem, as suitable bearers of conditional probabilities, or indirectly, via a representation theorem for the family of algebras associated with de Finetti's three-valued logic of conditional assertions/events.
		The representation theorems and an equivalent of the boolean prime ideal theorem yield an algebraic completeness theorem for the three-valued logic.
		Adequacy with respect to a family of Kripke models for de Finetti's logic, Lukasiewicz's three-valued logic and Priest's Logic of Paradox is demonstrated.

		Prime numbers are those that can be divided only by themselves or one.
		If you announced that you had an algorithm which could find the prime factors of a given number much faster than is currently possible, I guarantee you would attract the intense attention of everyone interested in data encryption and verification problems, including various "three-letter" government agencies.
		So while the actual value of the largest known prime is perhaps a curiousity, the techniques and machinery used to find them are of the greatest theoretical and practical importance.

		An urn problem is an idealized thought experiment in which some objects of real interest (such as atoms, people, cars, etc.) are represented as colored balls in an urn or other container.
		The Löwenheim-Skolem theorems tell us that if we restrict ourselves to first-order logic, any axiom system for the reals admits other models, including both models that are smaller than the reals and models that are larger.
		The idea that alternative mathematical systems might exist was very troubling to mathematicians of the 19th century and the developers of systems such as Boolean algebra made elaborate efforts to derive them from traditional arithmetic.

		In this paper it is attempted to relate the definitions of the fuzzy subset lattices with the other classical definitions of Postean and Boolean lattices in the context of Universal algebra.
		In particular it is obtained a kind of equivalence (mutual isomorphic representations) of the fuzzy subsets, Postean and Boolean lattices.
