Definition

A system of sets $\RR$ is a ring of sets if and only if $\RR$ satisfies the ring of sets axioms:

\((\text {RS} 1_3)\)   $:$   Empty Set:    \(\ds \O \in \RR \)      
\((\text {RS} 2_3)\)   $:$   Closure under Set Difference:      \(\ds \forall A, B \in \RR:\) \(\ds A \setminus B \in \RR \)      
\((\text {RS} 3_3)\)   $:$   Closure under Disjoint Union:      \(\ds \forall A, B \in \RR:\) \(\ds A \cap B = \O \implies A \cup B \in \RR \)
