  Integral domain
If a and b are elements of the integral domain R, we say that a divides b or a is a divisor of b or b is a multiple of a if and only if there exists an element x in R such that ax = b.
The elements which divide 1 are called the units of R; these are precisely the invertible elements in R.
Every prime element is irreducible (here, for the first time, we need R to be an integral domain), but the converse is only true in a unique factorization domain.

 Irreducible polynomial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is helpful to compare irreducible polynomials to prime numbers: prime numbers (together with the corresponding negative numbers of equal modulus) are the irreducible integers.
Hence, all irreducible polynomials are of degree 1.
The existence of irreducible polynomials of degree greater than one (without zeros in the original field) historically motivated the extension of that original number field so that even these polynomials can be reduced into linear factors: from rational numbers to real numbers and further to complex numbers.

Collecting our thoughts, we observe that in, there are primitive elements, and that all non-zero elements of the field can be constructed as powers of the primitive element.
While any irreducible polynomial can be used to construct the extension field, computation in the field is easier of a primitive polynomial is used.
All the nonzero elements of the field can be generated as powers of the roots of the primitive polynomial.

 Creation Functions
Given the ring of class functions R of a finite group G with k conjugacy classes and k elements a_i contained in some common cyclotomic field, create a class function on G for which the value on the i-th class is equal to the i-th term a_i.
Given a ring of class functions R create its zero element (which is the class function that takes on the value 0 on every element of the group).
The known irreducible characters are stored in the character ring of G. The functions in this section return character tables, which are enumerated sequences of characters that are flagged to allow printing in a special format.

If for example your ring is a PID (principal ideal domain), that's all elements of the domain, as you pointed out, but for number fields non-PID's always have prime ideals which are not principal, so there will be elements in the domain not in Prod_1.
The factors y and z cannot both have factorizations into irreducibles, so let x_{i+1} be a factor of x_i which also doesn't have a factorization into irreducibles, and which isn't an associate of x_i.
The nonzero principal ideals (which are generated by nonzero elements, with two elements generating the same ideal if and only if they differ by units) are associated with the identity element of the class group.

If the question asks you to prove that t^4+t^3+t^2+t+1 is irreducible, it would be against the spirit of the problem to answer simply that this is a special case of a polynomial that was treated in class.
So if the extension over R is finite and the element adjoined (or one of them) is not in R, then the extension is algebraic which means the element must be in C which means the elements adjoined are in C which implies that the degree is 2.
In a field F with q elements, the reason that x^q = x is that F\{0} is a cyclical multiplicative group with q-1 elements, and x^(q-1)=1.

 Rings
A highest common factor of two elements x,y in a ring A is an element d which is divisible by all those elements of A which divide both x and y.
The kernel of a homomorphism of rings f: A --> B is the ideal in A consisting of those elements a in A such that f(a) = 0.
An element x in an integral domain is prime if, for any product yz in the ring, if x divides yz then either x divides y or x divides z.

 THE WORLD PHENOMENOLOGY INSTITUTE World Institute for Advanced Phenomenological Research
We discover the footholds of order within the virtualities of the human individual rather than in the abstract structures of the structurizing intellect or in the ideal "essences." While differentiating himself from "other" beings and things, the functioning of the individual being follows the irreducible guidelines of the human condition.
We may account intentionally for the ethical choice; yet it is not the ethical action which is the pivotal human function, but the creative act which as the prototype of all action, establishes the specificity of man over all other types of beings.
In this dialogue phenomenology functions not as laying the ground of fixed principles or standards, but as conducting a clarifying scrutiny of the praxis itself.- a universal praxiology of knowledge.

I is the intersection of all prime ideals of R that contain I. In any principal ideal domain, our next definitions both reduce to the statement that the ideal in question is generated by a power of an irreducible element.

 Fantasy - Theory
Fantasy is “a fiction evoking wonder and containing a substantial and irreducible element of the supernatural with which the mortal characters in the story or the readers become on at least partly familiar terms” (Manlove 1).
In Gothic or dream fictions, the supernatural elements are a “symbolic extension of the purely human mind.”(Manlove) “…as soon as it clearly emerges, the science of psychology also begins to color fantasy” (Mathews 26).
Mathews identifies two complementary strains in modern fantasy, one essentially religious in nature (exemplified by Tolkien and, presumably, by Lewis) and one with a more secular orientation (ex., William Morris) (86).

 Unique factorization domain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In R[X,Y,Z,W], then, the degree one element (rα − 1)X + rβY + rγZ + rδW must be an element of the ideal (XY − ZW), but the non-zero elements of that ideal are degree two and higher.
Next, the element XY equals the element ZW because of the relation XY − ZW = 0.
That means that XY and ZW are two different factorizations of the same element into irreducibles, so R[X,Y,Z,W] / (XY − ZW) is not a UFD.

 Part 3: The alienation of labour is the premise for its emancipation | International Communist Current
He shows that alienation is an irreducible element of the wage labour system, which can only mean that the more the worker produces, the more he enriches not himself, but capital, this alien power standing over him.
But under conditions of alienation this advance be­comes a disadvance: man's capacity to separate subject from object, which is a fundamental element in the specifically human consciousness, is perverted into a relation of hostility to nature, to the sensuous 'objective' world.
And yet - and this element is developed in the pages of the Grundrisse in particular - man's history since tribal times can be seen as the continuous dissolution of the original communal bonds which held the first human soci­eties together.
