In mathematics, a ternary ring is an algebraic structure consisting of a non-empty set and a ternary mapping, and a planar ternary ring (PTR) or ternary field is special sort of a ternary ring used by Hall (1943) to give coordinates to projective planes. A planar ternary ring is not a ring in the traditional sense.

Famous quotes containing the word ring:
“I was exceedingly interested by this phenomenon, and already felt paid for my journey. It could hardly have thrilled me more if it had taken the form of letters, or of the human face. If I had met with this ring of light while groping in this forest alone, away from any fire, I should have been still more surprised. I little thought that there was such a light shining in the darkness of the wilderness for me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
