📖Definition

A ring is a set with two binary operations (addition, multiplication). It's an abelian group under addition, multiplication is associative, and distributive laws hold.

📐Formulas

(R, +) is an abelian group

Abelian group under addition

(a · b) · c = a · (b · c)

Associativity of multiplication

a(b + c) = ab + ac, (a + b)c = ac + bc

Distributive laws
