non-commutative rings of order four
Up to isomorphism, there are two non-commutative rings of order (http://planetmath.org/OrderRing) four. Since all cyclic rings are commutative
(http://planetmath.org/CommutativeRing), one can immediately deduce that a ring of order four must have an additive group
that is isomorphic to .
One of the two non-commutative rings of order four is the Klein 4-ring, whose multiplication table is given by:
The other is closely related to the Klein 4-ring. In fact, it is anti-isomorphic to the Klein 4-ring; that is, its multiplication table is obtained by swapping the of the multiplication table for the Klein 4-ring:
