Polynomial Rings
Quotient rings of polynomial rings are essential for constructing field extensions, as noted by the requirements for relating roots of polynomials to field structure [5]. If $F$ is a field and $P(x) \in F[x]$ is a non-constant polynomial, the quotient ring:
$$F[x] / \langle P(x) \rangle$$
is a field if and only if $P(x)$ is irreducible … -
