# commutative ring
## English
### Noun

commutative ring (plural commutative rings)
* (algebra, ring theory) A ring whose multiplicative operation is commutative.
** 1960, Oscar Zariski, Pierre Samuel, Commutative Algebra II, Springer, page 129:Among commutative rings, the polynomial rings in a finite number of indeterminates enjoy important special properties and are frequently used in applications.
** 2002, Joseph J. Rotman, Advanced Modern Algebra, 2nd edition, American Mathematical Society, page 295:As usual, it is simpler to begin by looking at a more general setting—in this case, commutative rings—before getting involved with polynomial rings. It turns out that the nature of the ideals in a commutative ring is important: for example, we have already seen that gcd's exist in PIDs, while this may not be true in other commutative rings.
** 2004, K. R. Goodearl, R. B. Warfield, Jr., An Introduction to Noncommutative Noetherian Rings, Cambridge University Press, page 47:In trying to understand the ideal theory of a commutative ring, one quickly sees that it is important to first understand the prime ideals. We recall that a proper ideal $P$ in a commutative ring $R$ is prime if, whenever we have two elements $a$ and $b$ of $R$ such that $ab\in P$, it follows that $a\in P$ or $b\in P$; equivalently, $P$ is a prime ideal if and only if the factor ring $R/P$ is a domain.

# polynomial ring
## English
### Noun

polynomial ring (plural polynomial rings)
* (algebra) A ring (which is also a commutative algebra), denoted K[X], formed from the set of polynomials (usually of one variable, in a given set, X), with coefficients in a given ring (often a field), K.
** 1998, Paul C. Roberts, Multiplicities and Chern Classes in Local Algebra, Cambridge University Press, page 270:It then follows that if $A$ is a graded ring over a local ring, $A$ is a homomorphic image of a polynomial ring over a regular local ring. For the sake of brevity, we refer to a graded polynomial ring over a regular local ring simply as a graded polynomial ring.
** 2000, Paul M. Cohn, Introduction to Ring Theory, Springer, page 106:In Section 3.2 we shall study the special properties of a polynomial ring over a field; for the moment we note a property of polynomial rings which applies quite generally, the Hilbert basis theorem (after David Hilbert, 1862-1943): Theorem 3.3 If $R$ is any right Noetherian ring, the polynomial ring $R[x]$ is again right Noetherian.
** 2009, Jesse Elliott, “Some new approaches to integer-valued polynomial rings”, in Marco Fontana, Salah-Eddine Kabbaj, Bruce Olberding, Irena Swanson, editors, Commutative Algebra and Its Applications: Proceedings of the 5th International Fez Conference, Walter de Gruyter, page 223:Because they possess a rich theory and provide an excellent source of examples and counterexamples, integer-valued polynomial rings have attained some prominence in the theory of non-Noetherian commutative rings.

#### Usage notes

* $K[X]$ is called the polynomial ring (or ring of polynomials) in $X$ over $K$.
* The notation $K[X_{1},X_{2},\dots ,X_{n}]$ is standardly used for the case of a polynomial ring in multiple variables.
** It is possible to speak of a polynomial ring in an infinite set of variables, provided it is assumed that any individual polynomial depends only on a finite number of variables.

## English
### Noun

rational function (plural rational functions)

** 1960, J. L. Walsh, Interpolation and Approximation by Rational Functions in the Complex Domain, 3rd edition, American Mathematical Society, page 184:Our first problem is that of interpolation in prescribed points to a given function by a rational function whose poles are given.
** 1970, Ellis Horowitz, Algorithms for Symbolic Integration of Rational Functions, University of Wisconsin-Madison, page 24:By Theorem 2.3.2., we have that the right-hand side of this equation can be equal to a rational function only if that rational function is equal to zero.
** 2000, Alan F. Beardon, Iteration of Rational Functions: Complex Analytic Dynamical Systems, Springer, page 45:Let ${\mathcal {C}}$ be the class of continuous maps of $\mathbb {C} _{\infty }$ into itself and let ${\mathcal {R}}$ be the subclass of rational functions. […] Now ${\mathcal {R}}$ is a closed subset of ${\mathcal {C}}_{\infty }$ because if the rational functions $R_{n}$ converge uniformly to $R$ on the complex sphere, then $R$ is analytic on the sphere and so it too is rational.
