Forcing algebra/Ideal and element/Definition

Let ${}R$ be a commutative ring and let ${}f_{1},\ldots ,f_{n}$ and ${}f$ be elements in ${}R$. Then the ${}R$-algebra

$R[T_{1},\ldots ,T_{n}]/{\left(f_{1}T_{1}+\cdots +f_{n}T_{n}-f\right)}$

is called the forcing algebra of these elements (or these data).
