``Subring criterion'' by pahio on 2004-06-16 17:44:11

The subset S of Z[X] which consists of polynomials with positive constant term is closed under addition and multiplication, but S is not subring of Z[X].

The sufficient (and necessary) subring criterion is that the non-empty S is closed under subtraction and multiplication.
