I looked at the example 14 and illstrated by picture in example 15 on page 266 and it appear to be the multiple of n for example z_36 being <2> and <3> are the maximal ideas, the rest of the multiple of 36 are contained in 2 and 3. I am not sure this is correct but that is what I got from it. -Herr-
This is what I got, as well. I see that the smallest ideals are essentially factors of the other ideals. The "maximal" part is that they are only "contained" by the main. At least that's how I think of it. -Tim F
