No. For instance in R, which is commutative, we have the ideals (2) and (4), where (4) is strictly contained in (2), which is not R. Therefore the ideal (4) is not a maximal ideal.
wedderburn's little theorem says all finite division rings are commutative so they are fields. So if it is a finite division ring, then the answer is NO But for an infinite division ring... I think you can!
A field is a commutative ring in which all non zero elements have inverses or all the elements are units
A ring is a mathematical structure defined by the following 11 axioms: Closure under Addition: For any ( a, b ) in the ring, ( a + b ) is also in the ring. Associativity of Addition: For any ( a, b, c ) in the ring, ( (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) ). Commutativity of Addition: For any ( a, b ) in the ring, ( a + b = b + a ). Additive Identity: There exists an element ( 0 ) in the ring such that for any ( a ), ( a + 0 = a ). Additive Inverses: For every ( a ) in the ring, there exists an element ( -a ) such that ( a + (-a) = 0 ). Closure under Multiplication: For any ( a, b ) in the ring, ( a \cdot b ) is also in the ring. Associativity of Multiplication: For any ( a, b, c ) in the ring, ( (a \cdot b) \cdot c = a \cdot (b \cdot c) ). Distributive Property: For any ( a, b, c ) in the ring, ( a \cdot (b + c) = a \cdot b + a \cdot c ) and ( (a + b) \cdot c = a \cdot c + b \cdot c ). Multiplicative Identity (if the ring is unital): There exists an element ( 1 \neq 0 ) such that for any ( a ), ( a \cdot 1 = a ). Commutativity of Multiplication (if the ring is commutative): For any ( a, b ) in the ring, ( a \cdot b = b \cdot a ). No requirement for multiplicative inverses: A ring does not require that every non-zero element has a multiplicative inverse. These axioms define the basic properties of rings in abstract algebra.
correct.
A tree gets a new ring every year, so I suppose a tree ring equals one year.
Given a ring R and a proper ideal I of R(that is I ≠ R), I is called a maximal ideal of R if there exists no other proper ideal J of R so that I ⊂ J. Is that the ideal you are talking about? If so, not sure what you want to know?
To prove a ring is commutative, one must show that for any two elements of the ring their product does not depend on the order in which you multiply them. For example, if p and q are any two elements of your ring then p*q must equal q*p in order for the ring to be commutative. Note that not every ring is commutative, in some rings p*q does not equal q*p for arbitrary q and p (for example, the ring of 2x2 matrices).

Nope. Take the commutative ring Z4 (the set {0,1,2,3} with modular arithmetic and multiplication). 1 is the identity element. But 2 x 2 = 4 = 0 while 2 is not the 0 element. So it's not an integral domain.

In the context of a ring, "f.d." typically stands for "finitely generated." A finitely generated ring is one that can be generated by a finite set of elements, meaning that every element of the ring can be expressed as a combination of these generators using the ring's operations. This concept is important in algebraic structures, particularly in module theory and commutative algebra.
A non-example of divisor ring of integers, a division ring or a nonzero commutative ring that has no zero divisors except 0.
If A intersection E = A where A & E belongs to some some system of sets lets say S then E is called the maximal set of S or the unit set of S.

They form a commutative ring in which the primary operator is addition and the secondary operator is multiplication.
