Let \(I\) be the principal ideal \(\langle x \rangle \) of the ring \(\mathbb{Z}[x]\). Prove that \(I\) is prime but not maximal.

Let \(R\) be a commutative ring with identity in which the set of all non-units forms an ideal \(M\). Show that \(M\) is a maximal ideal of \(R\) and it contains every proper ideal of \(R\). Also show that for each \(r \in R\) either \(r\) or \(1-r\) is a unit.

Let \(R\) be a commutative ring. Show that \(a|b \Leftrightarrow Ra \supset Rb, \forall a,b \in R\). Further if \(R\) contains the identity, show that for any \(a \in R\), if \(Ra\) is maximal, then \(a\) is an irreducible element of \(R\).

Let \(R\) be a non-trivial ring with identity in which every subring is an ideal. Show that \(R \cong \mathbb{Z}\) or \(\mathbb{Z_n}\) for some \(n .\)

Write parametric equation of hypocycloid, epicycloid, epitrochoid, trochoid.

Let \(C\) be circle \(|z| =R(R >1)\)  oriented counterclockwise. Show that

\(\left | \int_C \frac {Logz^2}{z^2}dz \right | \le 4\pi \left ( \frac{\pi + logR}{R} \right )\) and hence   \(\lim_{R \to \infty} \int_C \frac{Logz^2}{z^2}dz =0\) .

Without evaluating the integral, show that \(\left | \int_C \frac {1}{\overline{z}^2 + \overline{z} +1}dz \right| \le \frac{9\pi}{16}\)  where \(C\) is the arc of circle \(|z|=3\) from \(z=3\) to \(z=3i\) lying in the first quadrant.

Find the zeros and poles of

\(f(z) = \frac{1}{(z-a)(z-b)(e^{z-a} -1)}\)

where \(a,b\) are real .

Let \(f\) be the function defined by \(f(z)=\frac{(z+5)(2z+1)}{z^2-4}\) . Find the zero and poles of \(f,\frac{1}{f}, f^\prime\) and \(\frac{f^\prime}{f}\) .

Show that the function \(f\) defined by the series \(f(z)=\sum ^{\infty}_{n=1}\frac{1}{(z+n)^2}\) is meromorphic on every bounded subset of \(\mathbb{C}\), and find the residues at its poles.
