Rings and polynomials
Offered By: The Open University via OpenLearn
Course Description
Overview
This free course contains an introduction to rings and polynomials. We see that polynomial rings have many properties in common with the integers; for example, we can define a division algorithm, and this enables us to develop the analogue of the highest common factor for two polynomials. Section 1 explores the abstract definitions of a ring and a field. Sections 2 and 3 define polynomial rings where the coefficients of the polynomials are elements from a given field. Section 3 develops results concerning the divisibility of polynomials.
