I redirected this page and merged the old content into ideal_(ring theory). I have checked the links and none seemed to refer to ideal in order theory. MathMartin 11:18, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I just noticed this comment of mine after starting a new maximal ideal article with material from ideal (ring theory). I changed my opionion and think the topic deserves its own page now. MathMartin 13:45, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Corrected that every maximal ideal is prime to include the fact that the ring must be commutative. Xantharius 02:01, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Is it true that 2Z/4Z is not a field? It seems that it is isomorphic to Z₂.
