 | | The main structure related to a polynomial ring is its coefficient ring. |
 | | Given a polynomial ring P=R[x_1,..., x_n] of rank n with coefficient ring R, together with a ring S, construct the polynomial ring Q=S[x_1,..., x_n]. |
 | | In its general form a ring homomorphism taking a polynomial ring R[x_1,..., x_n] as domain requires n + 1 pieces of information, namely, a map (homomorphism) telling how to map the coefficient ring R together with the images of the n indeterminates. |
