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 "ideal number": ideals were seen as a generalization of the concept of number.
In the ring Z of integers, every ideal can be generated by a single number (so Z is a principal ideal domain), and the ideal determines the number up to its sign.

 Ideal class group - Info Voyager : Travel Guides : Information Portal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The first ideal class groups encountered in mathematics were part of the theory of quadratic forms: in the case of binary integral quadratic forms, as put into something like a final form by Gauss, a composition law was defined on certain equivalence classes of forms.
In this sense, the ideal class group measures how far R is from being a principal ideal domain, and hence from satisfying unique prime factorization (Dedekind domains are unique factorization domains if and only if they are principal ideal domains).
Every ideal of the ring of integers of K becomes principal in L, i.e., if I is an integral ideal of K then the image of I is a principal ideal in L.

Over a Sylvester domain every full matrix is regular, so the conditions of Theorem 5, and their duals, hold, so every flat module is spacial, hence locally free, and the kernel of any homomorphism between spacial modules is spacial, which says that the kernel of any homomorphism between flat modules is flat.
Let R be a principal ideal domain and S be the set of atoms of R. Then inverting the elements of S gives the field of fractions, K, of R. By Theorem 13, R(X)-K(X) is rank-preserving, but K(X) is a sernifir so has a rank-preserving homomorphism to a skew field, and hence so does R~X).
