Abstract

In Mathematics, it is common practice to identify the carriers of isomorphic algebraic structures. We believe that this is incompatible with the rigour and the accuracy which are the main characteristics of Mathematics.

Specifically, if are algebraic structures, A and E are disjoint sets, B is a proper subset of are the restrictions of respectively, in and f is an isomorphism of onto then it is falsely accepted that for every and, although A and B are disjoint sets, A is identified with B and A is considered as a subset of E.

In this paper we prove that this inaccuracy can be avoided. To do that, we consider the set and using the operations and we define the operations on K in a way that the algebraic structure is isomorphic to the operations and are the restrictions of in and literally A is a subset of K.

Finally, we give two applications of our theorems. In the first application, we construct the integral domain in a way that is indeed a proper subset of In the second application, we construct the integral domain where is the set of polynomials in one indeterminate X with coefficients in the carrier F of the field in a way that F is a proper subset of
