Ideals are important because they appear as the kernels of ring homomorphisms and allow one to define factor rings, as will be described next.

 Applicability and Efficiency of Near-Optimal Spatial Encoding for   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
An analysis of the distribution of principal angles is introduced and applied in several example cases to quantitatively describe the suitability of a basis set derived from a specific image estimate for the spatial encoding of a given field-of-view.
The k'th principal angle represents the minimum angle existing between a vector in one subspace (a principal vector in the first subspace) and a vector in the other subspace (a principal vector in the second subspace) with the restriction that neither of these two vectors contributed to the formation of the first (k-1)'th principal angles.
Ideal encoding, the limiting case, occurs only when all these principal angles are zero, and the number of encoding vectors equal to the matrix rank are used.

This single and idealized view of the principal's role in a reforming school ignores both the complexity and contextual nature of school leadership.
For example, Hallinger and Murphy (1985) found that principals in communities with a lower socioeconomic status tended to be both controlling and coordinating in their administrative styles, whereas principals in communities with a high socioeconomic status relied on more coordination.
Because principals are hired and evaluated by school boards and superintendents and because schools are dependent on districts for many of their resources (Peterson 1984; Peterson, Murphy, and Hallinger 1987), principals are influenced by their district superiors' concept of a principal's role.
