Review of Rings
We finish the proof that is a PID (we proved it’s not an euclidean ring last time). We recall the definitions and basic properties of modules, bases, generators. We start proving that if A is a PID and M is an A-module free of finite rank s, then all submodules are finitely generated and are actually free of rank smaller than s.
