To prove that the rings R and S are isomorphic, first identify the zero and unit elements for both structures. For R, the zero element is -3 and the unit element is 0, while for S, the zero element is 2 and the unit element is 1. An isomorphism must map the zero element of R to the zero element of S and the unit element of R to the unit element of S. Establish a function that satisfies these conditions and preserves the operations defined in R and S. Successfully demonstrating this will confirm that R is isomorphic to S.

I seem to be having a difficult time trying to figure out how to do this problem. It's from a non-graded homework assignment. I was able to get every other problem except for this one.Let R = Z, together with the two operations:
a + b := a + b + 3 and ab := ab + 3a + 3b + 6

Let S = Z, together with the two operations:
a + b := a + b - 2 and ab := -ab + 2a + 2b - 2

Assume ordinary addition and multiplication in Z and that R and S are rings.

Prove that R is isomorphic to S.

Prove that R is isomorphic to S.
As a start, find what the zero and unit elements are in $R$ and $S$. An isomorphism must take the zero element of $R$ to the zero element of $S$, and the same for the unit elements.
 
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...
