| Popis: | We define the finite number ring ${\Bbb Z}_n [\sqrt [m] r]$ where $m,n$ are positive integers and $r$ in an integer akin to the definition of the Gaussian integer ${\Bbb Z}[i]$. This idea is also introduced briefly in [7]. By definition, this finite number ring ${\Bbb Z}_n [\sqrt [m] r]$ is naturally isomorphic to the ring ${\Bbb Z}_n[x]/{\langle x^m-r \rangle}$. From an educational standpoint, this description offers a straightforward and elementary presentation of this finite ring, making it suitable for readers who do not have extensive exposure to abstract algebra. We discuss various arithmetical properties of this ring. In particular, when $n=p$ is a prime number and $\mathbb{Z}_p$ contains a primitive $m$-root of unity, we describe the structure of $\mathbb{Z}_n[\sqrt[m]{r}]$ explicitly. Comment: Expository paper.
