\begin{definition}
A \emph{field} is a \href{Commutative_rings_with_identity.pdf}{commutative rings with identity} $\mathbf{F}=\langle F,+,-,0,\cdot,1
\rangle$ such that


$\mathbf{F}$ is non-trivial:  $0\ne 1$


every non-zero element has a multiplicative inverse:  $x\ne 0\implies \exists y 
(x\cdot y=1)$

Remark: 
The inverse of $x$ is unique, and is usually denoted by $x^{-1}$.

\end{definition}

\begin{morphisms}
Let $\mathbf{F}$ and $\mathbf{G}$ be fields. A morphism from $\mathbf{F}$
to $\mathbf{G}$ is a function $h:F\rightarrow G$ that is a homomorphism: 

$h(x+y)=h(x)+h(y)$, $h(x\cdot y)=h(x)\cdot h(y)$, $h(1)=1$

Remark: 
It follows that $h(0)=0$ and $h(-x)=-h(x)$.

\end{morphisms}
\begin{basic_results}
$0$ is a zero for $\cdot$: $0\cdot x=x$ and $x\cdot 0=0$.
\end{basic_results}
\begin{examples}
\begin{example}
$\langle\mathbb{Q},+,-,0,\cdot,1\rangle$, the field of rational numbers with addition, subtraction, zero, multiplication, and one.

\begin{finite_members} $f(n)=$ number of members of size $n$.

$\begin{array}{lr}
f(1)= &0\\

There exists one field, called the Galois field $GF(p^m)$ of each prime-power order $p^m$.
