Abstract
Proves two famous theorems attributed to J.H.M. Wedderburn, which concern the structure of noncommutative rings. The two theorems include, (1) how any semisimple Artinian ring is the direct sum of a finite number of simple rings; and, (2) the Wedderburn-Artin Theorem. Proofs in this paper follow those outlined in I.N. Herstein's monograph Noncommutative Rings with examples and details provided by the author.
