Dive deep into the world of abstract algebra with a comprehensive exploration of integral domains. Learn about the field of fractions, irreducibles and primes, unique factorization domains (UFDs), principal ideal domains (PIDs), and Euclidean domains. Explore the relationships between these structures, including the proof that every PID is a UFD. Investigate the properties of polynomial rings over UFDs and examine specific examples of PIDs that are not Euclidean domains. Conclude with a study of ideals in quotients of PIDs, gaining a thorough understanding of these fundamental algebraic structures and their interconnections.
