 Quotient - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For example, in the problem 6 ÷ 3, the quotient would be 2, while 6 would be called the dividend, and 3 the divisor.
A quotient can also mean just the integral part of the result of dividing two integers.
In more abstract branches of mathematics, the word quotient is often used to describe sets, spaces, or algebraic structures whose elements are the equivalence classes of some equivalence relation on another set, space, or algebraic structure.

 Ideal (ring theory)
In ring theory, a branch of abstract algebra, an ideal of a ring R is a subset I of R which is closed under R-linear combinations, in a sense made precise below.
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.
For instance, in general rings one studies prime ideals instead of prime numbers, one defines coprime ideals as a generalization of coprime numbers, and one can prove a generalized Chinese remainder theorem about ideals.

 Boolean ring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A map between two Boolean rings is a ring homomorphism if and only if it is a homomorphism of the corresponding Boolean algebras.
Furthermore, a subset of a Boolean ring is a ring ideal (prime ring ideal, maximal ring ideal) if and only if it is an order ideal (prime order ideal, maximal order ideal) of the Boolean algebra.
The quotient ring of a Boolean ring modulo a ring ideal corresponds to the factor algebra of the corresponding Boolean algebra modulo the corresponding order ideal.

 Science Fair Projects - Polynomial ring
In abstract algebra, a polynomial ring is the set of polynomials in one or more variables with coefficients in a ring.
Every commutative ring that is a finitely-generated algebra over a field can be written as a quotient of a polynomial ring.
An interesting example of a ring obtained by using polynomials is the ring of Frobenius polynomials, where the ring multiplication is given by function composition, rather than by polynomial multiplication.

 Local ring - InfoSearchPoint.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In the case of commutative rings one does not have to distinguish between left, right and two-sided ideals: a commutative ring is local if and only if it has a unique maximal ideal.
The exact same arguments work for the ring of germs of continuous real-valued functions on any topological space at a given point, or the ring of germs of differentiable functions on any differentiable manifold at a given point, or the ring of germs of rational functions on any algebraic variety at a given point.

 blowup   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
T = a polynomial ring over R in variables whose weights are proportional to the degrees of the generators of J. Output values: L = the result ideal in T. The ring R may be a quotient ring.
The ideal L defining the blowup ring R[tJ] is obtained by eliminating "t" from the ideal K produced by the script "blowup0".
It is convenient to form the ring T by making a polynomial ring whose generators correspond to the generators of J, and then use ring-sum to tensor this ring with R. Caveats: If the ring T has more generators than needed, the correct initial subset is chosen.

In mathematics, a ring is called Noetherian if, intuitively speaking, it is not "too large" as expressed by a certain finiteness condition on its ideals.
Noetherian rings are named after the mathematician Emmy Noether, who developed much of their theory.
An example of a ring that's not Noetherian is a ring of polynomials in infinitely many variables: the ideal generated by these variables cannot be finitely generated.

 Dense ideals and maximal quotient rings of incidence algebras.
Our intention is to construct the maximal or Utumi ring of quotients, which is defined for any ring T, of an incidence algebra I(X, R).
Following the alternate description given by Findlay-Lambek, we use the dense ideals of the ring to construct its maximal ring of quotients.
Since, in general, it is hard to determine all the dense ideals of a ring, instead we construct a basis of dense ideals that form the Gabriel topology on the dense ideals.
