Abstract: The purpose of this thesis is to prove that the full n x n matrix ring over a field F is the injective envelope of the upper triangular n x n matrix ring over F. In order that this paper be self-contained, Chapter II is devoted to the basic definitions and properties of modules. However, it has been assumed that the reader has a knowledge of the basic properties of groups and rings. Known theorems have been stated without proof but with a reference as to where the reader may find a proof. Injective modules and essential submodules are discussed in Chapter III, and some distinctive properties of injective modules are developed. This discussion culminates in showing that with certain restrictions we have a characterization of injective modules, due to K. A. Byrd [Theorem 3.12], that to our knowledge is not found in the literature.
