  Ring of integers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
the ring of all integers (whole numbers: positive, negative or zero), usually denoted by Z.
since Z is the ring of integers of the field Q of rational numbers.
And indeed, in algebraic number theory the elements of Z are often called the "rational integers" because of this.

 Ring (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A ring is a generalization of the integers, which itself is an example of a ring.
Rings that also satisfy commutativity for multiplication (such as the ring of integers) are called commutative rings.
The motivating example is the ring of integers with the two operations of addition and multiplication.

 Ring Theory
The decomposition of an integer into the product of powers of primes has an analogue in rings where prime integers are replaced by prime ideals but, rather surprisingly, powers of prime integers are not replaced by powers of prime ideals but rather by "primary ideals".
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.
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 kernel of a ring homomorphism is an ideal.
The first argument is a ring R and the second argument is an element of R. When evaluated on R and such a second argument, the function represents the ideal in R generated by the second argument.

integers are entered as a sequence of decimal digits optionally preceded by a '+' sign for positive integers or a '-' sign for negative integers.
Many more functions that are mainly related to the prime residue group of integers modulo an integer are described in chapter Number Theory, and functions dealing with combinatorics can be found in chapter Combinatorics.
The residue class rings are rings, thus all operations for rings (see Chapter Rings) apply.

 Emmy Noether   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
In particular, she is viewed as one of the pioneers of what today are called "ring theory" and "ideal theory." The concept of "Noetherian Rings" plays a central role in the study of abstract algebra.
Can you find more ideals of the ring Z? In the next lessons we will determine what all the ideals of the ring of integers look like, describe what "Noetherian" means and show that the ring Z is a Noetherian ring.
The significance of Emmy Noether's contributions lies in the fact that her results are not only true for the integers, but also hold for a far more general class of structures that have the property of being a ring.

Now 3 is not expressible in the form a^2 + b^2, so it is not composite in the ring of Gaussian integers.
It is also possible to prove that every prime number of the form 4*k + 1 is expressible as the sum of two squares, and no prime number of the form 4*k + 3 is expressible in that way.
That tells us that the prime integers which are composite in the Gaussian integers are those not leaving remainder 3 when divided by 4.
