Investigating a Claim for Russian Priority in the Abstract Definition of a Ring (2014)

unapi

In this article, I scutinize an assertion that the Russian-Ukrainian mathematician S O Shatunovskii (1859--1929) should be credited with the first modern definition of a ring. Shatunovskii's claim is compared with that of Abraham Fraenkel, who defined a notion very close to the current concept of a ring in a paper of 1914.
