Commutative ring with unity












2












$begingroup$


I'm given the following question :



$mathbb{Z} × mathbb{Z}= {(a,b) : a, b in mathbb{Z}}$, where $mathbb{Z}$ is the set of integers.
Prove that it is a commutative ring with unity.



I am able to prove that the set is closed under addition. But to prove this for multiplication, I arrive at : $(a,b)cdot(c,d)$
How should I carry out this multiplication?

    You do have an appropriate software to write it accurately, though; it is just done with pure text: $Bbb ZtimesBbb Z$ gives $Bbb Ztimes Bbb Z$. For more information, you can check out this page.

Before saying a set is a ring, you have to specify the operations.



There are infinitely many ways to turn $mathbb{Z}timesmathbb{Z}$ into a commutative ring with unity, as well as infinitely many ways to turn it into a noncommutative ring with unity.



Here are three out of the infinitely many possibilities. In all cases, the addition is $(a,b)+(c,d)=(a+c,b+d)$.




  1. $(a,b)(c,d)=(ac,bd)$

  2. $(a,b)(c,d)=(ac,ad+bc)$

  3. $(a,b)(c,d)=(ac-bd,ad+bc)$
