====Noun====

# {{lb|en|algebra}} An [[algebraic structure]] which consists of a [[set]] with two [[binary operation]]s: an [[additive operation]] and a [[multiplicative operation]], such that the set is an [[abelian group]] under the additive operation, a [[monoid]] under the multiplicative operation, and such that the multiplicative operation is [[distributive]] with respect to the additive operation.
#: {{ux|en|The set of integers, <math>\mathbb{Z}</math>, is the prototypical '''ring'''.}}
# {{lb|en|algebra}} An algebraic structure as above, but only required to be a [[semigroup]] under the [[multiplicative operation]], that is, there need not be a multiplicative [[identity element]].
