Algebra: Groups, Rings, And Fields Direct

The order of grouping doesn't change the result.

Rings build upon groups by introducing a second operation—typically multiplication. While a ring is an additive group, the multiplication side is more relaxed. It must be associative and distribute over addition, but it doesn't necessarily need an identity or inverses. Common examples include: Algebra: Groups, rings, and fields

There is a "neutral" element (like 0 in addition) that leaves others unchanged. The order of grouping doesn't change the result
