Title: An Introduction to Integer-Valued Polynomial Rings
Abstract: In this talk we discuss the ring of integer-valued polynomials $Int(Z)={f(x) \in Q[x] | f(Z) \subseteq Z}$. We mention various interesting properties of this ring. In particular, we consider the Skolem property. We then investigate some conditions necessary for these properties to hold if Z is replaced with another domain D. This talk is a survey of classical resuts due to various authors.
