Field (mathematics) | Algebraic number theory
In mathematics, a field K is called a (non-Archimedean) local field if it is complete with respect to a topology induced by a discrete valuation v and if its residue field k is finite. Equivalently, a local field is a locally compact topological field with respect to a non-discrete topology. Sometimes, real numbers R, and the complex numbers C (with their standard topologies) are also defined to be local fields; this is the convention we will adopt below. Given a local field, the valuation defined on it can be of either of two types, each one corresponds to one of the two basic types of local fields: those in which the valuation is Archimedean and those in which it is not. In the first case, one calls the local field an Archimedean local field, in the second case, one calls it a non-Archimedean local field. Local fields arise naturally in number theory as completions of global fields. While Archimedean local fields have been quite well known in mathematics for at least 250 years, the first examples of non-Archimedean local fields, the fields of p-adic numbers for positive prime integer p, were introduced by Kurt Hensel at the end of the 19th century. Every local field is isomorphic (as a topological field) to one of the following: * Archimedean local fields (characteristic zero): the real numbers R, and the complex numbers C. * Non-Archimedean local fields of characteristic zero: finite extensions of the p-adic numbers Qp (where p is any prime number). * Non-Archimedean local fields of characteristic p (for p any given prime number): the field of formal Laurent series Fq((T)) over a finite field Fq, where q is a power of p. In particular, of importance in number theory, classes of local fields show up as the completions of algebraic number fields with respect to their discrete valuation corresponding to one of their maximal ideals. Research papers in modern number theory often consider a more general notion, requiring only that the residue field be perfect of positive characteristic, not necessarily finite. This article uses the former definition. (Wikipedia).
Definition of a Field In this video, I define the concept of a field, which is basically any set where you can add, subtract, add, and divide things. Then I show some neat properties that have to be true in fields. Enjoy! What is an Ordered Field: https://youtu.be/6mc5E6x7FMQ Check out

The gradient of a function is a vector. n-Dimensional space can be filled up with countless vectors as values as inserted into a gradient function. This is then referred to as a vector field. Some vector fields have potential functions. In this video we start to look at how to calculat

Ordered Fields In this video, I define the notion of an order (or inequality) and then define the concept of an ordered field, and use this to give a definition of R using axioms. Actual Construction of R (with cuts): https://youtu.be/ZWRnZhYv0G0 COOL Construction of R (with sequences)
