group and abelian group with an example of each.

2. Define a ring, a ring with unity, a commutative ring, a commutative ring with unity,
a division ring or skew-field, a field, zero divisors, integral domain, boolean ring,
null ring, characterstic of a ring with an example of each.

3. Give an example of a commutative ring without unity element. Give an example of


a non-commutative ring. How can a power set of a set be a ring? Give an example
of a ring with zero divisors. Give an example of a division-ring or skew-field which
