    Maximal Ideals

    A commutative ring is called a local ring if it has a unique maximal ideal. Prove that if R is a local ring with maximal ideal M then every element of R-M is a unit. Prove conversely that if R is commutative ring with one in which the set of nonunits forms an ideal M, then R is a local ring with unique maximal ideal M.

    Systems of Congruences : Simultaneous Solutions

    1. Prove that gcd (a, lcm[b, c]) = lcm[gcd(a,b), gcd(a,c)]. 2. Find the simultaneous solutions of the following congruences: 2x ≡ 1(mod 5) 3x ≡ 9 (mod 6) 4x ≡ 1 (mod 7) 5x ≡ 9 (mod 11)

    Fibonacci Sequences

    Fibonacci posed the following problem: Suppose that rabbits live forever and that every month each pair produces a new pair which becomes productive at age 2 months. If we start with one newborn pair, how many pairs of rabbits will we have in the nth month? Show that the answer is fn, where {fn} is the Fibonacci sequence defined
