$a\pm b \ \epsilon\ A\ \forall\ a,b\ \epsilon\ I$ and $ca\ \epsilon\ A,\ a\ \epsilon\ A, c\ \epsilon\ R$

Prime Ideal: When is a commutative ring, is a prime ideal if

$\forall\ a,b\ \epsilon\ R$ is true and $ab\ \epsilon\ A \rightarrow a\ \epsilon\ A \vee\ b\ \epsilon\ A$

Maximal Ideal: When is a commutative ring, and is a non empty subset of then, has a maximal ideal if all ideal are

$\\A\subseteq B\subseteq R, \\ B=A \vee\ B=R$
