👉 In mathematics, a simples is a type of algebraic structure that is used to represent and manipulate algebraic expressions. It is often used in abstract algebra to represent elements that are not directly represented by other types of structures such as groups or rings. Simples can be defined using the concept of a ring, which is a set equipped with two binary operations (addition and multiplication) that satisfy certain properties, called axioms. Ring elements can be thought of as abstract variables, where each
