Let $R$ be a noetherianNoetherian ring. By the Hilbert Basis Theorem the polinomialpolynomial ring $R[x_1, ... , x_n]$$R[x_1, \ldots , x_n]$ is also a noetherianNoetherian ring. What can we say about the number of generators of of an ideal $I$ of $R[x_1, ... , x_n]$$R[x_1, \ldots , x_n]$? (We can suppose that every ideal in $R$ is principal)
