Diophantine geometry

Field of definition

In mathematics, the field of definition of an algebraic variety V is essentially the smallest field to which the coefficients of the polynomials defining V can belong. Given polynomials, with coefficients in a field K, it may not be obvious whether there is a smaller field k, and other polynomials defined over k, which still define V. The issue of field of definition is of concern in diophantine geometry. (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

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
