In mathematics, a ternary ring is an algebraic structure consisting of a non-empty set and a ternary mapping, and a planar ternary ring (PTR) or ternary field is special sort of a ternary ring used by Hall (1943) to give coordinates to projective planes. A planar ternary ring is not a ring in the traditional sense.

Famous quotes containing the word ring:
“What is a novel? I say: an invented story. At the same time a story which, though invented has the power to ring true. True to what? True to life as the reader knows life to be or, it may be, feels life to be. And I mean the adult, the grown-up reader. Such a reader has outgrown fairy tales, and we do not want the fantastic and the impossible. So I say to you that a novel must stand up to the adult tests of reality.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
