I am reading Joseph J.Rotman's book, A First Course in Abstract Algebra.

I am currently focused on Section 3. Polynomials

I need help with the a statement of Rotman's concerning the definition of a gcd in a general domain ... the definition

The relevant section of Rotman's text reads as follows:View attachment 4544

In the above text we read the following:

" ... ... By Proposition 3.41, the principal ideals generated by two gcd's $$d$$ and $$d'$$ of $$a$$ and $$b$$ coincide: $$(d') = (d)$$. ... ..."Can someone please help me to prove (rigorously and formally) that this statement actually follows from Proposition 3.41?

Hope someone can help ...

Proposition 3.41 reads as follows:

I don't see how Prop. 3.41 applies. It's pretty straightforward anyway. If $d$ and $d'$ are gcds of $a$ and $b$, then $d|d'$ and $d'|d$. Thus $(d)\subseteq (d')$ and $(d')\subseteq (d)$.
 
Thread 'How to define a vector field?'
Hello! In one book I saw that function ##V## of 3 variables ##V_x, V_y, V_z## (vector field in 3D) can be decomposed in a Taylor series without higher-order terms (partial derivative of second power and higher) at point ##(0,0,0)## such way: I think so: higher-order terms can be neglected because partial derivative of second power and higher are equal to 0. Is this true? And how to define vector field correctly for this case? (In the book I found nothing and my attempt was wrong...
