Chapter 1: The Real and Complex Number Systems - Fields

Welcome to Chapter 1, Section 3: Fields. In this section, we introduce the algebraic structure known as a field. Fields give us the precise rules for addition and multiplication that underlie the real numbers, the rationals, and the complex numbers. We will also define ordered fields, which combine algebraic and order structure. Let's get started.
