Homework Statement


Determine all semisimple rings with a unique maximal ideal.

The Attempt at a Solution



If I call ##I## to the unique maximal ideal of ##R##, then ##I## can be seen as a simple ##R##-submodule, by hypothesis, there exists ##I' \subset R##, ##R-##submodule such that ##R=I \bigoplus I'##. I got stuck at this point, any suggestions would be appreciated.[/B]

Thread 'Finding the nth roots of a complex number'

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
