What is a field?
a set F with two operations (+ & x )
List properties of Field
F is closed under + & x ,
+ & x are associative,
+ & x are communative
+ & x have identity elements 0 & 1 in F
every element has an additive inverse in F
every non-zero element has multiplicative inverse in F
x distributes over +
F is closed under + & x
Means that a + b and ab are elements of F
+ & x are associative
(a+b) + c = a + (b+c) & (ab)c = a(bc)
+ and x are commutative
a+b = b+ a and ab=ba
+ and x have identity elements 0 &1 in F respectively
a+0 = a and b*1 = b
every element has an additive inverse in F
For every a in F, there is an element -a in F satisfying a+(-a) = 0
every non-zero element has a multiplicative inverse in F
If b does not equal 0, then there is 1/b in F satisfying b(1/b) =1
x distributes over +
a(b+c) = ab + ac
What are some most common fields
Rational numbers, real numbers, complex numbers
What is a ring
A set R together with two operations (_ & x) satisfying the following properties
1. R is closed under _ and x
2. + and x are associative
3. + is commutative
4. + and x have identity elements 0 and 1 in R, respectively
5. every element has an additive inverse in R
6. x distributes over +
Two key differences between the definition of a ring and field
1. Rings do not necessarily have a commutative multiplication
2. rings do not necessarily contain multiplicative inverses

* every field is a ring, but not all rings are fields
Name some common rings
intergers, set of square matrices (2x2) and set of polynomials with coefficients in another ring

Set of all quadratic polynomials are not rings
Give an example of ring that is not a field
intergers, polynomials, set of all square matrices of a given size
Why are integers not a field?
because not ever integer has a multiplicative inverse that is an integer. (e.g. multiplicative inverse of 3 is 1/3, which is not an integer)
Why are natural numbers not a ring?
Because they do not contain an additive identity

Also, the additive inverses of natural numbers are not natural numbers
why is the set of all quadratic polynomials not a ring
Set of quadratic polynomials is not closed under multiplication.

b. If a < b and c>0, then ac < bc
c. If a < b and c< 0, then ac > bc
d. If a<- b and b<- a, then a = b
e. If a < b and b< c, then a < c

What does it mean ato be ordered?
totally ordered: any two elements a and b in set, a <- b or b<- a.

Because of the Trichotomy Axiom of real numbers, we know that any subset of real numbers is ordered.
