Ideals of a finite semiring (B(n,i) in our case) under inclusion form a very interesting structure; in most cases, much more complicated than ideals of a finite ring. Such a structure can be easily represented by a diagram in which points represent ideals and lines represent relations between them. In 2D, lines often intersect, and the diagram becomes quite confusing. The goal of this project is to create an application that would allow us to represent the structure of ideals on a 3D diagram (without crossing lines). In the result, the diagram would become clearer and easy to investigate.

Further, improving the application so that it distinguishes subtractive, prime, idempotent, maximal, and minimal ideals would help in describing connections between those types of ideals.
