Solution

An ideal is an additive subgroup

I \subseteq R

with

r I \subseteq I

for all

r \in R

. A ring homomorphism preserves addition and multiplication; for the rings with identity here use the standard unital convention

θ (1_{R}) = 1_{S}

. If

a, b \in ker θ

, then

θ (a - b) = 0

, and if

r \in R

then

θ (r a) = θ (r) θ (a) = 0

. Thus the kernel is an ideal.

A maximal ideal is a proper ideal

I \neq = R

such that an ideal

J

satisfying

I \subseteq J \subseteq R

is either

I

or

R

.
