Extract

In ring theory there is the following theorem (cf. [1], p. 39):

If R is a ring satisfying the descending chain condition for left ideals, then the following three conditions are equivalent: (i) R is primitive, (ii) R is simple, and (iii) R is isomorphic to the complete ring of linear transformations in a finite dimensional vector space over a division ring.
