Ordered field

In mathematics, an ordered field is a field together with a total ordering of its elements that is compatible with the field operations. The basic example of an ordered field is the field of real numbers, and every Dedekind-complete ordered field is isomorphic to the reals. Every subfield of an ordered field is also an ordered field in the inherited order. Every ordered field contains an ordered subfield that is isomorphic to the rational numbers. Squares are necessarily non-negative in an ordered field. This implies that the complex numbers cannot be ordered since the square of the imaginary unit i is −1. Finite fields cannot be ordered. Historically, the axiomatization of an ordered field was abstracted gradually from the real numbers, by mathematicians including David Hilbert, Otto Hölder and Hans Hahn. This grew eventually into the Artin–Schreier theory of ordered fields and formally real fields. (Wikipedia).

What is a field ?

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

What is a real number?

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)

Field Definition (expanded) - Abstract Algebra

The field is one of the key objects you will learn about in abstract algebra. Fields generalize the real numbers and complex numbers. They are sets with two operations that come with all the features you could wish for: commutativity, inverses, identities, associativity, and more. They

14 Ordering of sets

The elements of a set can be ordered by a relation. Some relation cause proper ordering and some, partial ordering. Have a look at some examples.

Set Theory (Part 11): Ordering of the Natural Numbers

Please feel free to leave comments/questions on the video and practice problems below! In this video, we utilize the definition of natural number to speak of ordering on the set of all natural numbers. In addition, the well-ordering principle and trichotomy law are proved.

Order of Elements in a Group | Abstract Algebra

We introduce the order of group elements in this Abstract Algebra lessons. We'll see the definition of the order of an element in a group, several examples of finding the order of an element in a group, and we will introduce two basic but important results concerning distinct powers of ele

Galois theory: Finite fields

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Galois theory. We use the theory of splitting fields to classify finite fields: there is one of each prime power order (up to isomorphism). We give a few examples of small order, and point out that there seems to be no good choice for

In this video we define what an algebraically closed field and assert without proof that they exist. We also explain why if you can find a single root for any polynomial, then you can find them all.
