    Maximal Ideals under Canonical Ring Homomorphism: A/I to A

    Homework Statement f:A->A/I is a ring homomorphism. Does f^-1 take maximal ideas of A/I to maximal ideals of A?The Attempt at a Solution I think it does, since there is a bijection between A and A/I preserving subsets-ordering. But f might not be that bijection.
