Title: /Using Special Ideals to Illustrate a Research Philosophy in Ring Theory/

Abstract: Among the most fundamental objects of study in commutative ring theory
are the prime ideals. In this talk, I will describe some special classes of prime ideals
and explain their generalization and significance to noncommutative rings. This work
will also provide an excellent opportunity to showcase an important class of polynomial
rings. I will emphasize examples and themes over proofs and technical details.
