3.1 Due January 20

1) So basically an integral domain is when there are no zero divisors?  Why do we have to specify that 1R does  not equal 0R?  And for a field to exist, why do we need to specify that when ax=1R has a solution, a does not equal 0?  I didn't really see how the proof is sufficient for Theorem 3.2.
2)  I feel a lot more confident with rings and it is cool to see how they are defined in so many different ways.
