Abstract: Firstly, we introduce the notion of primitive rings. After giving some examples and mentioning the properties of this class of rings, we shall prove the famous Jacobson Density Theorem which gives the structure of the primitive rings. Finally, we give a different proof of the fundamental Wedderburn’s structure theorem that characterizes the finite dimensional simple algebras.
