  2. Ring (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_(mathematics)

    S can be equipped with operations making it a ring such that the inclusion map S → R is a ring homomorphism. For example, the ring ⁠ ⁠ of integers is a subring of the field of real numbers and also a subring of the ring of polynomials ⁠ [] ⁠ (in both cases, ⁠ ⁠ contains 1, which is the multiplicative identity of the larger rings).

  3. Simple ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_ring

    An immediate example of a simple ring is a division ring, where every nonzero element has a multiplicative inverse, for instance, the quaternions. Also, for any n ≥ 1 {\displaystyle n\geq 1} , the algebra of n × n {\displaystyle n\times n} matrices with entries in a division ring is simple.

  4. Mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass

    The mass of an atom or other particle can be compared more precisely and more conveniently to that of another atom, and thus scientists developed the dalton (also known as the unified atomic mass unit). By definition, 1 Da (one dalton) is exactly one-twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom, and thus, a carbon-12 atom has a mass of exactly 12 Da.

  5. Category of rings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_of_rings

    Examples of limits and colimits in Ring include: The ring of integers Z is an initial object in Ring. The zero ring is a terminal object in Ring. The product in Ring is given by the direct product of rings. This is just the cartesian product of the underlying sets with addition and multiplication defined component-wise.

  6. Principal ideal ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_ideal_ring

    The principal rings constructed in Example 5 above are always Artinian rings; in particular they are isomorphic to a finite direct product of principal Artinian local rings. A local Artinian principal ring is called a special principal ring and has an extremely simple ideal structure: there are only finitely many ideals, each of which is a ...

  7. Moment of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia

    The moment of inertia depends on how mass is distributed around an axis of rotation, and will vary depending on the chosen axis. For a point-like mass, the moment of inertia about some axis is given by , where is the distance of the point from the axis, and is the mass. For an extended rigid body, the moment of inertia is just the sum of all ...

  8. Sigma-ring - Wikipedia

    A 𝜎-ring that is a collection of subsets of induces a 𝜎-field for . Define = {: }. Then A {\displaystyle {\mathcal {A}}} is a 𝜎-field over the set X {\displaystyle X} - to check closure under countable union, recall a σ {\displaystyle \sigma } -ring is closed under countable intersections.

  9. Einstein radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_radius

    For a dense cluster with mass M c ≈ 10 × 10 15 M ☉ at a distance of 1 Gigaparsec (1 Gpc) this radius could be as large as 100 arcsec (called macrolensing). For a Gravitational microlensing event (with masses of order 1 M ☉ ) search for at galactic distances (say D ~ 3 kpc ), the typical Einstein radius would be of order milli-arcseconds.
