A field is a commutative ring (F, +, *) such that 0 does not equal 1 and all elements of F except 0 have a multiplicative inverse.
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.
An algebraic extension of a field F is the smallest field containing F and a root of an irreducible polynomial p(x) in F[x].

 Science Fair Projects - 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 numbers.
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 numbers.
The concept of a field is of use, for example, in defining vectors and matrices, two structures in linear algebra whose components can be elements of an arbitrary field.

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.
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.

 Superreal Number [Definition]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The superreal numbers compose a more inclusive category than hyperreal numberIn mathematics, particularly in non-standard analysis and mathematical logic, hyperreal numbers or nonstandard reals (usually denoted as *R) denote an ordered field which is a proper extension of the ordered field of real numbers R and which satisfies the transfer principle.
Algebraic numbersIn mathematics, an algebraic number relative to a field F is any element x of a given field K containing F such that x is a solution of a polynomial equation of the form...
Surreal numbersIn mathematics, the surreal numbers are a field containing the real numbers as well as infinite and infinitesimal numbers, respectively larger or smaller in absolute value than any positive real number, and therefore the surreals are algebraically similiar to superreal numbers and hyperreal numbers.

In mathematics, the term "complex" when used as an adjective means that the field of complex numbers is the underlying number field considered, for example complex matrix, complex polynomial and complex Lie algebra.
To see that these properties characterize C as a topological field, one notes that P ∪ {0} ∪ -P is an ordered Dedekind-complete field and thus can be identified with the real numbers R by a unique field isomorphism.
In applied fields, the use of complex analysis is often used to compute certain real-valued improper integrals, by means of complex-valued functions.

As a real closed field with cardinality the continuum, it is isomorphic as a field to R but is not isomorphic as an ordered field to R.
The hyperreal fields we obtain in this case are called ultrapowers of R and are identical to the ultrapowers constructed via free ultrafilters in model theory.

By limiting the construction to a Grothendieck universe, a set is obtained, rather than a class, with an honest field with the cardinality of some strongly inaccessible cardinal.
Finally it can be shown that the generalized operations on the equivalence classes have the desired algebraic properties, i.e., the equivalence classes plus their ordering and the algebraic operations constitute an ordered field, with the caveat that they do not form a set but a proper class, see below.

The set R is a field, i.e., addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are defined and have the usual properties.
However, an ordered group (and a field is a group under the operations of addition and subtraction) defines a uniform structure, and uniform structures have a notion of completeness (topology); the description in the section Completeness above is a special case.
Ordered fields extending the reals are the hyperreal numbers and the surreal numbers; both of them contain infinitesimal and infinitely large numbers and thus are not Archimedean.

However, a 2003 paper by Kanovei and Shelah shows that there is a definable, countably saturated (meaning ω-saturated, but not of course countable) elementary extension of the reals, which therefore has a good claim to the title of ''the'' hyperreal numbers.
