  Ring Theory
In this article we shall be concerned with the development of the theory of commutative rings (that is rings in which multiplication is commutative) and the theory of non-commutative rings up to the 1940's.
Ring theory in its own right was born together with an early hint of the axiomatic method which was to dominate algebra in the 20
In contrast to commutative ring theory, which as we have seen grew from number theory, non-commutative ring theory developed from an idea which, at the time of its discovery, was heralded as a great advance in applied mathematics.

The classical part of the theory of associative rings and algebras is formed by the theory of finite-dimensional associative algebras [2].
The key concepts in the structural theory of associative rings are the concepts of the Jacobson radical, semi-simplicity and primitivity.

 Ring Theory
Although the concept of a ring is due to Dedekind, one of the first words used was an "order" or "order-modul".
However, axioms for rings are not given by Weber and the axiomatic treatment of commutative rings was not developed until the 1920's in the work of Emmy Noether and Krull.
The Wedderburn theory was extended to non-commutative rings satisfying both ascending and descending finiteness conditions (called chain conditions) by Artin in 1927.

 Order (ring theory) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, an order in the sense of ring theory is a subring O of a ring R that satisfies the conditions
In algebraic number theory there are examples for any K other than the rational field of proper subrings of the ring of integers that are also orders.
For example, the Hurwitz quaternions are a maximal order in the quaternions with rational co-ordinates; they are not the quaternions with integer coordinates in the most obvious sense.

 13: Commutative rings and algebras
Of particular interest are several classes of rings of interest in number theory, field theory, algebraic geometry, and related areas; however, other classes of rings arise, and a rich structure theory arises to analyze commutative rings in general, using the concepts of ideals, localizations, and homological algebra.
Conversely, the study of a ring is often focused by the examination of related fields, such as the quotients by each of the maximal ideals, or, in the case of integral domains, by the quotient field.
Rings associated to group a group G shed light on the structure of G, particular rings of invariants k(V)^G (given a group action on a vector space V), cohomology rings H^*(G,Z), group rings Z[G], and representation rings R(G).

 First-order Model Theory (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
First-order model theory, also known as classical model theory, is a branch of mathematics that deals with the relationships between descriptions in first-order languages and the structures that satisfy these descriptions.
From another point of view, first-order model theory is the paradigm for the rest of model theory; it is the area in which many of the broader ideas of model theory were first worked out.
These theories have the remarkable property that every infinite indiscernible sequence in any of their models is indiscernible under any linear ordering whatever; so these sequences are a kind of generalisation of bases of vector spaces.
