Product of Rings

Product Of Rings

In mathematics, it is possible to combine several rings into one large product ring. This is done as follows: if I is some index set and Ri is a ring for every i in I, then the cartesian product Πi in I Ri can be turned into a ring by defining the operations coordinate-wise.

The resulting ring is called a direct product of the rings Ri. The direct product of finitely many rings coincides with the direct sum of rings.

    Whenever a taboo is broken, something good happens, something vitalizing.... Taboos after all are only hangovers, the product of diseased minds, you might say, of fearsome people who hadn’t the courage to live and who under the guise of morality and religion have imposed these things upon us.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    ...In the past, as now, [Hollywood] was a stamping ground for tastelessness, violence, and hyperbole, but once upon a time it turned out a product which sweetened the flavor of life all over the world.
    Anita Loos (1888–1981)

    We will have rings and things, and fine array,
    And kiss me, Kate, we will be married o’ Sunday.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
