Math 31 Homework #27

I think over again my small adventures, my fears,
Those small ones that seemed so big.
For all the vital things I had to get and to reach.
And yet there is only one great thing, the Only thing,
To live to see the great day that dawns,
And the light that fills the world.
Old Inuit Song

Reading

Read what we will cover in class on 3/8: Chapter 15

When reading Chapter 15 pay special attention to the following concepts:

  • ring homomorphism, ring isomorphism, note some examples and nonexamples, Theorems 15.1-5 and Corollaries 1-3. We will not explicitly consider fields of quotients in our study of ring homomorphisms.

Problems

The following problems will not be collected, but are strongly suggested:
  • Ch 15 : 1, 2, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 30, 31, 32, 33, 36, 37.
  • For 32, recall Exercise 16 from Chapter 14.
