	Field (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In abstract algebra, a field is an algebraic structure in which the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division (except division by zero) may be performed, and the same rules hold which are familiar from the arithmetic of ordinary numbers.
		For a given field F, the set F(X) of rational functions in the variable X with coefficients in F is a field; this is defined as the set of quotients of polynomials with coefficients in F.
		Differential field, a field equipped with a derivation.

	Field theory (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Field theory is a branch of mathematics which studies the properties of fields.
		Fields are important objects of study in algebra since they provide a useful generalization of many number systems, such as the rational numbers, real numbers, and complex numbers.
		For instance, the field of algebraic numbers is the algebraic closure of the field of rational numbers and the field of complex numbers is the algebraic closure of the field of real numbers.

	Field (mathematics)
		In abstract algebra, a field is an algebraic structure in which the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (except division by zero) may be performed and the associative, commutative, and distributive rules hold, which are familiar from the arithmetic of ordinary number s.
		Fields are important objects of study in algebra since they provide the proper generalization of number domains, such as the sets of rational numbers, real numbers, or complex number s.
		The concept of a field is of use, for example, in defining vector s and matrices, two structures in linear algebra whose components can be elements of an arbitrary field.

		A structure which satisfies all the properties of a field except for commutativity, is today called a division ring or sometimes a skew field, but also non-commutative field is still widely used.
		An algebraic number field is a finite field extension of the rational numbers Q, that is, a field containing Q which has finite dimension as a vector space over Q.
		The surreal numbers form a Field containing the reals, and would be a field except for the fact that they are a proper class, not a set.

		Mathematics is commonly defined as the study of patterns of structure, change, and space; more informally, one might say it is the study of "figures and numbers".
		Mathematics is widely acknowledged as probably the only perfect science, in the sense that the solutions it gives (from proven theorems) are absolute and stand the test of time.
		Mathematics might accordingly be seen as an extension of spoken and written natural languages, with an extremely precisely defined vocabulary and grammar, for the purpose of describing and exploring physical and conceptual relationships.

		The development of quantum field theory and string theory in the last two decades led to an unprecedented level of interaction between physics and mathematics, incorporating into physics such "pure" areas of mathematics as algebraic topology, algebraic geometry, and even number theory.
		In particular, even the basic setting of quantum field theory, necessary for understanding its more advanced (and mathematically exciting) parts, is already largely unknown to mathematicians.
		Nevertheless, many of the basic ideas of quantum field theory can in fact be presented in a completely rigorous and mathematical way.
