Polynomial ring - Wikipedia
WEBIn mathematics, especially in the field of algebra, a polynomial ring or polynomial algebra is a ring (which is also a commutative algebra) formed from the set of polynomials in one or more indeterminates (traditionally also called variables) with …

WEBAug 17, 2021 · Definition \(\PageIndex{1}\): Polynomial over a Ring. Let \([R; +, \cdot ]\) be a ring. A polynomial, \(f(x)\text{,}\) over \(R\) is an expression of the form \begin{equation*} f(x)=\sum _{i=0}^n a_i x^i=a_0 + a_1 x+a_2 x^2+ \cdots +a_n x^n \end{equation*} where \(n\geq 0\text{,}\) and \(a_0, a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n \in R\text{.}\)
WEBWe start with some basic facts about polynomial rings. Lemma 21.1. Let Rbe an integral domain. Then the units in R[x] are precisely the units in R. Proof. One direction is clear. A unit in Ris a unit in R[x]. Now suppose that f(x) is a unit in R[x]. Given a polynomial g, denote by d(g) the degree of g(x) (note that we are not claiming that
WEBThe obvious place to start is with a rigorous definition of the ring of polynomials over a ring R. Definition 22.1. Let R be a ring. A polynomial f (x) with indeterminate x and coefficients in R is a formal sum. f (x) = akxk = a0 + a1x + + akxk +. k=0 å. where all but finitely many of the coefficients ak 2 R are non-zero.

WEBTo show that the set of all polynomials forms a ring, we must first define addition and multiplication. We define the sum of two polynomials as follows. Let \begin{align*} p(x) & = a_0 + a_1 x + \cdots + a_n x^n\\ q(x) & = b_0 + b_1 x + \cdots + b_m x^m\text{.} \end{align*} Then the sum of \(p(x)\) and \(q(x)\) is

WEBPolynomial Rings. 1. Definitions and Basic Properties. For convenience, the ring will always be a commutative ring with identity. Basic Properties. The polynomial ring R[x] in the indeterminate x with coe. cients from R is the set of all formal sums anxn + an 1xn. 1 + + a1x + a0 with n Addition of polynomials is componentwise: 0 and each ai 2 R.
Abstract Algebra 14.5: Introduction to Polynomial Rings
WEBWe have seen that the set of polynomials with real coefficients is a ring, as is the set of polynomials with integer coefficients. In fact, if we start with...
WEBPolynomial rings. Let us now turn out attention to determining the prime elements of a polynomial ring, where the coefficient ring is a field. We already know that such a polynomial ring is a UFD. Therefore to determine the prime elements, it suffices to determine the irreducible elements. We start with some basic facts about polynomial rings.
