What does it mean for a subset of $\mathbb{C}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ to be algebraically independent?

Particularly I'd like to know the formulation thereof which concerns the kernel of a surjective ring isomorphism.

    Let $\{f_i\}$ be a family of elements. You can define $\mathbf C[\{y_i\}] \to \mathbf C[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ by sending $y_i \mapsto f_i$. What can you say about the kernel?2012-05-08
