Correction text:
A (two-sided) ideal P of a ring R is called a prime ideal if the following equivalent conditions are met:

(a) If I and J are left ideals with IJ \subset P, then I \subset P or J \subset P.
(b) If I and J are right ideals with IJ \subset P, then I \subset P or J \subset P.(c) If I and J are two-sided ideals with IJ \subset P, then I \subset P or J \subset P.(d) If x and y are elements of R with xRy \subset P, then x \in P or y \in P.
(e) R/P is a prime ring.
