Title: Monomial Basis of a Quotient Ring
Abstract: A polynomial ring S over a field k has a basis consisting of
monomials. Given a quotient ring R of S, one would like to identify the
monomials whose images form a k-basis of R. We will discuss the ideas of a
monomial order, and initial ideals, leading to Groebner basis, which help
answer this question.
