In Dummit and Foote Chapter 15 Exercise 2(a) on page 668 reads as follows:

Show that the following ring is not Noetherian by exhibiting an explicit infinite increasing chain of ideals:

- the ring of continuous real valued functions on [0, 1]I would appreciate help on this exercise.

You could take the n'th ideal to be the set of continuous functions on [0,1] that vanish on the interval [0,1/n].
 
Another solution. Let the nth ideal be the principle ideal generated by the function $$f_n(x)=x^{1/n}$$.

That is the algebraist's solution, mine was the analyst's solution. (Handshake) (Smile)
