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.
