Abstract
In Chapter 3 we shall start our serious study of fields. But first we need to build our toolkit, which involves polynomial rings over fields. These, as we shall see, are integral domains of a particular kind, and it helps to develop some of the abstract theory of these domains before applying the ideas to polynomials.
