Throughout, topological spaces are assumed to be completely regular. C(X) (resp. C*(X)) will denote the ring of all (resp. all bounded) continuous real-valued functions. βX will denote the Stone-Cech compactification of X. In [2], Nel and Riorden defined C(X) to be the set of all f ∊ C(X) such that M(f) is real in the residue class ring C(X)/M for every maximal ideal M in C(X). C(X) is a subalgebra as well as a sublattice of C*(X).
