抽象环是抽象代数中的基本概念,重要性不言而喻。拟从抽象环概念的演变来解析它的来龙去脉,即如何从具体的数环、多项式环演变为现代数学中的抽象环。不仅能对抽象环的历史进行梳理考证,也对数学本身有一定的借鉴意义。
Abstract ring is the basis of abstract algebra. This paper expounds its evolution from number ring and pol- ynomial ring to abstract ring. It is important to mathematics itself and mathematical history.
