Determine the maximal ideals of $mathbb R^2$ by determining **all** its ideals.

$begingroup$


This is a letter of an exericse in Artin Algebra and has been asked and answered here as well as by Brian Bi here and Takumi Murayama here. I had a different approach here and have yet another approach.



enter image description here



$mathbb R$ is a field so its only ideals are $(1)$ and $(0)$. Thus, by Structure of ideals in the product of two rings all the ideals of $mathbb R^2$ are $$(0)times(0),(1)times(1),(0)times(1),(1)times(0)$$. Then it's obvious $$(0)times(1),(1)times(0)$$ are the maximal ideals.



Is this correct also?

          Yes, since $(1) times (1) = mathbb{R} times mathbb{R}$ is the whole ring and $(0) times (0)$ is contained in both $(0) times (1)$ and $(1) times (0)$. It is also clear that $(0) times (1) not subset (1) times (0)$ and vice versa.
