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.

    H. Seton Merriman (1862–1903)

    It is told that some divorcees, elated by their freedom, pause on leaving the courthouse to kiss a front pillar, or even walk to the Truckee to hurl their wedding rings into the river; but boys who recover the rings declare they are of the dime-store variety, and accuse the throwers of fraudulent practices.
