Riddle: Professor and lion in a ring with V_p = V_l, help the professor live as long as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Recap == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Base - what were doing today&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Linear combination (lc) - We say v is a linear combination of a set S = {u1 ... un}  if v = a1u1 ... anun for scalars from a field F.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Span - span(S) is the set of all linear combination of set S&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Generate - We say S generates a vector space V is span(S) = V&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Pre - Basis ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Linear dependance&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Definition&#039;&#039;&#039; A set S ⊂ V is called linearly dependant if you can express the zero vector as a linear combination of distinct vectors from S, excluding the non-trivial linear combination where all of the scalars are 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Otherwise, we call S &#039;&#039;&#039;linearly independant.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Examples ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. In &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;^3, take S = {u1 = (1,4,7), u2 = (2,5,8), u3 = (3,6,9)}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
u1 - 2u2 + u3 = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
S is linearly dependant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. In R^n, take {e_i} = {0, 0, ... 1, 0, 0, 0} where 1 is in the ith position, and (ei) is a vector with n entries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claim: This set is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof: Suppose (∑ ai*ei) = 0 ({ei} is linearly dependant.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(∑ ai*ei) = 0 ⇔ a1(1, 0, ..., 0) + ... + an(0, ..., 0, 1) = 0 ⇔ (a1, 0, ... , 0) + ... +  (0, ... , an) = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
⇒ a1 = a2 = ... = an = 0!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Comments ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. {u} is linearly independant.&lt;br /&gt;
Proof:&lt;br /&gt;
⇐ If u≠0, suppose au =0 &lt;br /&gt;
By property (a*u = 0, a = 0 or u = 0), a = 0. Thus, {u} is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
⇒ By definition, au = 0 for {u} only when a = 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. ∅ is linearly independant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Exercise: Prove: &#039;&#039;&#039;Theorem&#039;&#039;&#039; Suppose S1 ⊂ S2 ⊂ V.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-&amp;gt; If S1 is linearly dependant, then S2 is dependant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-&amp;gt; If S2 is linearly independent, then S1 is linearly independent. (Hint: contrapositive)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Basis == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Definition&#039;&#039;&#039;: A subset  β is called a basis if 1. β generates V → span(β) = V and 2. β is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Examples===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. V = {0}, β = {}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. {ei} for F^n, this is what we call the &#039;&#039;&#039;standard basis&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. B = {(1,1),(1, -1)}  is a basis for R^2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. P_n(F) β = {x^n, x^n-1, ... , x^1, x^0}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. P(F), β = (x^0, x^1 ... and on} (&#039;&#039;&#039;Infinite basis&#039;&#039;&#039;!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Interesting inequality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This holds is true if the field does not have  characteristic 2. Can you see why?&lt;br /&gt;

== Recap == &#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Base - what were doing today&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Linear combination (lc) - We say v is a linear combination of a set S = {u1 ... un}  if v = a1u1 ... anun for scalars from a field F.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Span - span(S) is the set of all linear combination of set S&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Generate - We say S generates a vector space V is span(S) = V&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Pre - Basis ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Linear dependance&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Definition&#039;&#039;&#039; A set S ⊂ V is called linearly dependant if you can express the zero vector as a linear combination of distinct vectors from S, excluding the non-trivial linear combination where all of the scalars are 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Otherwise, we call S &#039;&#039;&#039;linearly independant.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Examples ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. In &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;^3, take S = {u1 = (1,4,7), u2 = (2,5,8), u3 = (3,6,9)}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
u1 - 2u2 + u3 = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
S is linearly dependant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. In R^n, take {e_i} = {0, 0, ... 1, 0, 0, 0} where 1 is in the ith position, and (ei) is a vector with n entries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claim: This set is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof: Suppose (∑ ai*ei) = 0 ({ei} is linearly dependant.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(∑ ai*ei) = 0 ⇔ a1(1, 0, ..., 0) + ... + an(0, ..., 0, 1) = 0 ⇔ (a1, 0, ... , 0) + ... +  (0, ... , an) = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
⇒ a1 = a2 = ... = an = 0!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof:&lt;br /&gt;
⇐ If u≠0, suppose au =0 &lt;br /&gt;
By property (a*u = 0, a = 0 or u = 0), a = 0. Thus, {u} is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
⇒ By definition, au = 0 for {u} only when a = 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Exercise: Prove: &#039;&#039;&#039;Theorem&#039;&#039;&#039; Suppose S1 ⊂ S2 ⊂ V.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-&amp;gt; If S1 is linearly dependant, then S2 is dependant.&lt;br /&gt;
-&amp;gt; If S2 is linearly independent, then S1 is linearly independent. (Hint: contrapositive)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Basis == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Definition&#039;&#039;&#039;: A subset  β is called a basis if 1. β generates V → span(β) = V and 2. β is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Examples===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. V = {0}, β = {}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. {ei} for F^n, this is what we call the &#039;&#039;&#039;standard basis&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. B = {(1,1),(1, -1)}  is a basis for R^2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. P_n(F) β = {x^n, x^n-1, ... , x^1, x^0}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. P(F), β = (x^0, x^1 ... and on} (&#039;&#039;&#039;Infinite basis&#039;&#039;&#039;!)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Definition&#039;&#039;&#039; A set S subsetof V is called linearly dependant if you can express the zero vector as a linear combination of distinct vectors from S, excluding the non-trivial linear combination where all of the scalars are 0.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
u1 - 2u2 + u3 = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
S is linearly dependant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. In R^n, take {e_i} = {0, 0, ... 1, 0, 0, 0} where 1 is in the ith position, and (ei) is a vector with n entries.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
⇒ a1 = a2 = ... = an = 0!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Comments ===&lt;br /&gt;
1. {∅}  is linearly independent. (Think about logical statements like &amp;quot;all elements of the empty set are purple&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
2. {u} is linearly independent when u≠0.&lt;br /&gt;

== Vector space axioms ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;(Quick recap)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS1.  x + y = y + x&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS2.  (x + y) + z = x + (y + z)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS3.  0 vector&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS4. + inverse → -&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS5. 1x = x&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS6. a(bx) = (ab)x&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS7. a(x + y) = ax + ay&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS8. (a+b)x = ax + bx&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Theorems ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.a x + z = y + z ⇒ x = y&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.b ax = ay, a ≠ 0, ⇒ x = y&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.c ax = bx, x ≠ 0, ⇒ a = b&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. 0 is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Additive inverse is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. 0_F ∙ x = 0_V&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. a ∙ 0_V = 0_V&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. (-a) x = -(ax) = a(-x)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. cx = 0 ⇔ c = 0 or x = 0_V&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Hints for proofs ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.a Same as for fields&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.b. Use similar proof as for fields, but use VS6 NOT F2b. F2b guarantees existence, but VS6 allows algebraic manipulation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.c Discussed after proof of 7, harder than you think at first glance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Same as F.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Same as F&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. 0_F + 0_F = 0_F =&amp;gt; by [VS8]: 0x + 0x = (0+0)x = 0x = 0x + 0 [VS3] = 0 + 0x [VS1]&lt;br /&gt;
⇒ 0x + 0x = 0 + 0x ⇒ [Cancellation property] 0x = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Same as 4 except using 0_V + 0_V = 0_V and using VS7&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Skip&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. Prove both ways: Easy way is to the left, show left is 0 if either on right is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
To the right, Suppose c not= 0, then show x must equal 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.c Add (-bx) to each side, use  VS8 then VS6 -&amp;gt;  (a-b)x =0, use property 7.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Subspaces == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Definition: Let V be a vector space over a field F. A &#039;&#039;subspace&#039;&#039;  W of V is a subset of V, has the operations inherited from V and 0_V of V, is itself a vector space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Examples of subspaces ===&lt;br /&gt;
Look at scanned notes for examples of subspaces!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Theorem: A subset W ⊂ V, W ≠ ∅, is a subspace iff it is closed under the operations of V.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. ∀ x, y ∈ W, x + y ∈ W&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. ∀ c ∈ F, ∀ x ∈ W, cx ∈ W&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
1.b ax = ay, a ≠ 0, ⇒ x = y&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.c ax = bx, x ≠ 0, ⇒ a = b&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. 0 is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Additive inverse is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. 0_F ∙ x = 0_V&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. a ∙ 0_V = 0_V&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. (-a) x = -(ax) = a(-x)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. cx = 0 ⇔ c = 0 or x = 0_V&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Rough sketches for proofs ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.a Same as for fields&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.b. Use similar proof as for fields, but use VS6 NOT F2b. F2b guarantees existence, but VS6 allows algebraic manipulation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.c Discussed after proof of 7, harder than you think at first glance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Same as F.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Same as F&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. 0x + 0x = (0+0)x [VS8]  = 0x = 0x + 0 [VS3] = 0 + 0x [VS1]&lt;br /&gt;
=&amp;gt; 0x + 0x = 0 + 0x =&amp;gt; [Cancellation property] 0x = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Same as 4 except using 0_V + 0_V = 0_V and using VS7&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Skip&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. Prove both ways: Easy way is to the left, show left is 0 if either on right is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
To the right, Suppose c not= 0, then show x must equal 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.c&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Subspaces == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Definition: Let V be a vector space over a field F. A &#039;&#039;subspace&#039;&#039;  W of V is a subset of V, has the operations inherited from V and 0_V of V, is itself a vector space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Theorem: A subset W ⊂ V, W ≠ {∅},   is a subspace iff it is closed under the operations of V.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. ∀ x, y ∈ W, x + y ∈ W&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. ∀ c ∈ F, ∀ x ∈ W, cx ∈ W&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

[Define a^2 = a∙a]  &lt;br /&gt;
Hint: Use distributive law&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm 2&#039;&#039;&#039;: Given a field F, there exists a map Ɩ: Z → F with the properties (∀ m,n ∈ Z): &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) Ɩ(0) =0, Ɩ(1)=1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) Ɩ(m+n) = Ɩ(m) +Ɩ(n)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) Ɩ(mn) = Ɩ(m)∙Ɩ(n)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Ɩ is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Rough proof&#039;&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Test somes cases:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(2) = Ɩ(1+1) = Ɩ(1) + Ɩ(1) = 1 + 1 ≠ 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(3) = Ɩ(2 +1)= Ɩ(2) + Ɩ(1) = 1+ 1+ 1 ≠ 3&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(n) = 1 + ... + 1 (n times)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(-3) = ?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(-3 + 3) = Ɩ(-3) + Ɩ(3) ⇒ Ɩ(-3) = -Ɩ(3) = -(1+1+1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;What about uniqueness?&#039;&#039; Simply put, we had not choice in the definition of Ɩ. All followed from the given properties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point, we will be lazy and simply denote Ɩ(3) = 3_f [3 with subscript f]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
∃ m≠0, m ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;N&#039;&#039;&#039;, Ɩ(m) =0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In which case, there is a smallest m&amp;lt;0, for which Ɩ(m)=0. &#039;&#039;&#039;m&#039; is the characteristic of F.&#039;&#039; Denoted char(F).&lt;br /&gt;
Examples: char(F_2)=2, char(F_3)=3... but NOTE: char(&#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;)=0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm:&#039;&#039;&#039; If F is a field and char(F) &amp;gt;0, then char(F) is a prime number.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof: Suppose char(F) =m, m&amp;gt;0. Suppose also m is not prime: m=ts, t,s ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;N&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then, Ɩ(m) = 0 = Ɩ(t)∙Ɩ(s) ⇒  Ɩ(t)=0 or  Ɩ(s)=0 by P12.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Ɩ(t)=0 ⇒ t≧m ⇒ m=t, s=1 or  likewise for Ɩ(s)=0, and m=s, t=1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In any factorization of m, one of the factors is m and the other is 1. So m is prime. ∎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Complex number==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Abstraction, generalization, definition, examples, properties, dream, implications, realization = formalization, PROOF.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Consider that fact that in &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;, ∄ x s.t. x^2 = -1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dream: Add new number element 𝒊 to &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;, so as to still get a field &amp;amp; 𝒊^2 = -1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Implications: By adding 𝒊, we must add 7𝒊, and 2+7𝒊, 3+4𝒊, (2+7𝒊)∙(3+4𝒊), (2+7𝒊)^-1, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, how do we define this field?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Definition&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039; = {(a,b): a,b ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;}&lt;br /&gt;
Also, 0 (of the field) = (0,0); 1( of the field) = (1,0)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Define addition: (a,b)+(c,d) = (a+c, b+d)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Define multification: (a,b)(c,d) = (ad-bd, ad+bc)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Theorems:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm. 1.&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039;, 0, 1, +, ∙) is a field.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm. 2.&#039;&#039;&#039;  ∃ 𝒊 ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039; s.t. 𝒊^2 = -1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm. 3.&#039;&#039;&#039;  &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039; contains  &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof (1): Show that each of the field axioms holds for &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ex. F1(a): ƶ1 + ƶ2 = ƶ2 + ƶ1, where ƶ1 = (a1, b1) and ƶ2 = (a2, b2)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LHS: (a1,b1)+(a2,b2) = (a1+a2, b1+b2)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RHS: (a2,b2)+(a1,b1) = (a2+a1, b2+b1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LHS=RHS by F1 of &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
F1(b) and so on...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof (2):&lt;br /&gt;
Given a field &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039;,  define a map Ɩ: &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039; → &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039; with the properties (∀ m,n ∈ Z): &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) Ɩ(0) =0, Ɩ(1)=1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) Ɩ(m+n) = Ɩ(m) +Ɩ(n)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) Ɩ(mn) = Ɩ(m)∙Ɩ(n)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, define Ɩ(x)=(x,0). Thus, it follows. ∎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, what does a+b𝒊 mean? (a, b ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a+b𝒊= Ɩ(a) + Ɩ(b)+Ɩ(𝒊) = (a,0) + (b,0)∙(0,1) = (a,b)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hence, (a,b) ~ a+b𝒊&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, we can  use a+b𝒊 with less hesitation.&lt;br /&gt;

In this class, the professor continued with some more theorems of field and introduced definition and theorems of complex number.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Various properties of fields ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm 1&#039;&#039;&#039;: In a field F:&lt;br /&gt;
1. a+b = c+b ⇒ a=c&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. b≠0, a∙b=c∙b ⇒ a=c&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. 0 is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. 1 is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. -a is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. a^-1 is unique (a≠0)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. -(-a)=a &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. (a^-1)^-1 =a&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9. a∙0=0 **Surprisingly difficult, required distributivity. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10. ∄ 0^-1, aka, ∄ b∈F s.t 0∙b=1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11. (-a)∙(-b)=a∙b&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12. a∙b=0 &#039;&#039;iff&#039;&#039; a=0 or b=0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16. (a+b)∙(a-b)= a^2 - b^2  &lt;br /&gt;
[Define a^2 = a∙a]  &lt;br /&gt;
Hint: Use distributive law&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm 2&#039;&#039;&#039;: Given a field F, there exists a map Ɩ: Z → F with the properties (∀ m,n ∈ Z): &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) Ɩ(0) =0, Ɩ(1)=1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) Ɩ(m+n) = Ɩ(m) +Ɩ(n)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) Ɩ(mn) = Ɩ(m)∙Ɩ(n)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Ɩ is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Rough proof&#039;&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Test somes cases:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(2) = Ɩ(1+1) = Ɩ(1) + Ɩ(1) = 1 + 1 ≠ 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(3) = Ɩ(2 +1)= Ɩ(2) + Ɩ(1) = 1+ 1+ 1 ≠ 3&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(n) = 1 + ... + 1 (n times)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(-3) = ?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(-3 + 3) = Ɩ(-3) + Ɩ(3) ⇒ Ɩ(-3) = -Ɩ(3) = -(1+1+1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;What about uniqueness?&#039;&#039; Simply put, we had not choice in the definition of Ɩ. All followed from the given properties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point, we will be lazy and simply denote Ɩ(3) = 3_f [3 with subscript f]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
∃ m≠0, m ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;N&#039;&#039;&#039;, Ɩ(m) =0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In which case, there is a smallest m&amp;lt;0, for which Ɩ(m)=0. &#039;&#039;&#039;m&#039; is the characteristic of F.&#039;&#039; Denoted char(F).&lt;br /&gt;
Examples: char(F_2)=2, char(F_3)=3... but NOTE: char(&#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;)=0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm:&#039;&#039;&#039; If F is a field and char(F) &amp;gt;0, then char(F) is a prime number.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof: Suppoer char(F) =m, m&amp;gt;0. Suppose also m is not prime: m=ts, t,s ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;N&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then, Ɩ(m) = 0 = Ɩ(t)∙Ɩ(s) ⇒  Ɩ(t)=0 or  Ɩ(s)=0 by P12.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Ɩ(t)=0 ⇒ t≧m ⇒ m=t, s=1 or  likewise for Ɩ(s)=0, and m=s, t=1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In any factorization of m, one of the factors is m and the other is 1. So m is prime. ∎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Complex number==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Abstraction, generalization, definition, examples, properties, dream, implications, realization = formalization, PROOF.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Consider that fact that in &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;, ∄ x s.t. x^2 = -1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dream: Add new number element 𝒊 to &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;, so as to still get a field &amp;amp; 𝒊^2 = -1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Implications: By adding 𝒊, we must add 7𝒊, and 2+7𝒊, 3+4𝒊, (2+7𝒊)∙(3+4𝒊), (2+7𝒊)^-1, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, how do we define this field?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Definition&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039; = {(a,b): a,b ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;}&lt;br /&gt;
Also, 0 (of the field) = (0,0); 1( of the field) = (1,0)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Define addition: (a,b)+(c,d) = (a+c, b+d)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Define multification: (a,b)(c,d) = (ad-bd, ad+bc)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Theorems:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm. 1.&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039;, 0, 1, +, ∙) is a field.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm. 2.&#039;&#039;&#039;  ∃ 𝒊 ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039; s.t. 𝒊^2 = -1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm. 3.&#039;&#039;&#039;  &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039; contains  &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof (1): Show that each of the field axioms holds for &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ex. F1(a): ƶ1 + ƶ2 = ƶ2 + ƶ1, where ƶ1 = (a1, b1) and ƶ2 = (a2, b2)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LHS: (a1,b1)+(a2,b2) = (a1+a2, b1+b2)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RHS: (a2,b2)+(a1,b1) = (a2+a1, b2+b1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LHS=RHS by F1 of &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
F1(b) and so on...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

3) Ɩ(mn) = Ɩ(m)∙Ɩ(n)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Ɩ is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Rough proof&#039;&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Test somes cases:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(2) = Ɩ(1+1) = Ɩ(1) + Ɩ(1) = 1 + 1 ≠ 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(3) = Ɩ(2 +1)= Ɩ(2) + Ɩ(1) = 1+ 1+ 1 ≠ 3&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(-3 + 3) = Ɩ(-3) + Ɩ(3) ⇒ Ɩ(-3) = -Ɩ(3) = -(1+1+1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;What about uniqueness?&#039;&#039; Simply put, we had not choice in the definition of Ɩ. All followed from the given properties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point, we will be lazy and simply denote Ɩ(3) = 3_f [3 with subscript f]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
∃ m≠0, m ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;N&#039;&#039;&#039;, Ɩ(m) =0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In which case, there is a smallest m&amp;lt;0, for which Ɩ(m)=0. &#039;&#039;&#039;m&#039; is the characteristic of F.&#039;&#039; Denoted char(F).&lt;br /&gt;
Examples: char(F_2)=2, char(F_3)=3... but NOTE: char(&#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;)=0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm:&#039;&#039;&#039; If F is a field and char(F) &amp;gt;0, then char(F) is a prime number.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof: Suppoer char(F) =m, m&amp;gt;0. Suppose also m is not prime: m=ts, t,s ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;N&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then, Ɩ(m) = 0 = Ɩ(t)∙Ɩ(s) ⇒  Ɩ(t)=0 or  Ɩ(s)=0 by P12.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Ɩ(t)=0 ⇒ t≧m ⇒ m=t, s=1 or  likewise for Ɩ(s)=0, and m=s, t=1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In any factorization of m, one of the factors is m and the other is 1. So m is prime. ∎&lt;br /&gt;

Consider that fact that in &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;, ∄ x s.t. x^2 = -1&lt;br /&gt;

Dream: Add new number element 𝒊 to &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;, so as to still get a field &amp;amp; 𝒊^2 = -1&lt;br /&gt;

So, how do we define this field?&lt;br /&gt;

Also, 0 (of the field) = (0,0); 1( of the field) = (1,0)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Define addition: (a,b)+(c,d) = (a+c, b+d)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Define multification: (a,b)(c,d) = (ad-bd, ad+bc)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Theorems:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Proof (1): Show that each of the field axioms holds for &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ex. F1(a): ƶ1 + ƶ2 = ƶ2 + ƶ1, where ƶ1 = (a1, b1) and ƶ2 = (a2, b2)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LHS: (a1,b1)+(a2,b2) = (a1+a2, b1+b2)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RHS: (a2,b2)+(a1,b1) = (a2+a1, b2+b1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LHS=RHS by F1 of &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

Dream: Add new number element 𝒊 to &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;, so as to still get a field &amp;amp; 𝒊^2 = -1&lt;br /&gt;

Also, 0 (of the field) = (0,0); 1 = (1,0)&lt;br /&gt;
Define +: (a,b)+(c,d) = (a+c, b+d)&lt;br /&gt;
Define ∙: (a,b)∙(c,d) = (ad-bd, ad+bc)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm. 1.&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039;, 0, 1, +, ∙) is a field.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm. 2.&#039;&#039;&#039;  ∃ 𝒊 ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039; s.t. 𝒊^2 = -1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm. 3.&#039;&#039;&#039;  &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039; contains  &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof (1): Show that each of the field axioms hold for &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

[Define a^2 = a∙a]  &lt;br /&gt;
Hint: Use distributive law&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm 2&#039;&#039;&#039;: Given a field F, there exists a map Ɩ: Z → F with the properties (∀ m,n ∈ Z): &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) Ɩ(0) =0, Ɩ(1)=1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) Ɩ(m+n) = Ɩ(m) +Ɩ(n)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) Ɩ(mn) = Ɩ(m)∙Ɩ(n)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Ɩ is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Rough proof&#039;&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Test somes cases:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(2) = Ɩ(1+1) = Ɩ(1) + Ɩ(1) = 1 + 1 ≠ 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(3) = Ɩ(2 +1)= Ɩ(2) + Ɩ(1) = 1+ 1+ 1 ≠ 3&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(n) = 1 + ... + 1 (n times)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(-3) = ?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(-3 + 3) = Ɩ(-3) + Ɩ(3) ⇒ Ɩ(-3) = -Ɩ(3) = -(1+1+1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;What about uniqueness?&#039;&#039; Simply put, we had not choice in the definition of Ɩ. All followed from the given properties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point, we will be lazy and simply denote Ɩ(3) = 3_f [3 with subscript f]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
∃ m≠0, m ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;N&#039;&#039;&#039;, Ɩ(m) =0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In which case, there is a smallest m&amp;lt;0, for which Ɩ(m)=0. &#039;&#039;&#039;m&#039; is the characteristic of F.&#039;&#039; Denoted char(F).&lt;br /&gt;
Examples: char(F_2)=2, char(F_3)=3... but NOTE: char(&#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;)=0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm:&#039;&#039;&#039; If F is a field and char(F) &amp;gt;0, then char(F) is a prime number.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof: Suppoer char(F) =m, m&amp;gt;0. Suppose also m is not prime: m=ts, t,s ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;N&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then, Ɩ(m) = 0 = Ɩ(t)∙Ɩ(s) ⇒  Ɩ(t)=0 or  Ɩ(s)=0 by P12.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Ɩ(t)=0 ⇒ t≧m ⇒ m=t, s=1 or  likewise for Ɩ(s)=0, and m=s, t=1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In any factorization of m, one of the factors is m and the other is 1. So m is prime. ∎&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;What about uniqueness?&#039;&#039; Simply put, we had not choice in the definition of Ɩ. All followed from the given properties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point, we will be lazy and simply denote Ɩ(3) = 3_f [3 with subscript f]&lt;br /&gt;

∃ m≠0, m ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;N&#039;&#039;&#039;, Ɩ(m) =0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In which case, there is a smallest m&amp;lt;0, for which Ɩ(m)=0. &#039;&#039;&#039;m&#039; is the characteristic of F.&#039;&#039; Denoted char(F).&lt;br /&gt;
Examples: char(F_2)=2, char(F_3)=3... but NOTE: char(&#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;)=0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm:&#039;&#039;&#039; If F is a field and char(F) &amp;gt;0, then char(F) is a prime number.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof: Suppoer char(F) =m, m&amp;gt;0. Suppose also m is not prime: m=ts, t,s ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;N&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then, Ɩ(m) = 0 = Ɩ(t)∙Ɩ(s) ⇒  Ɩ(t)=0 or  Ɩ(s)=0 by P12.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Ɩ(t)=0 ⇒ t≧m ⇒ m=t, s=1 or  likewise for Ɩ(s)=0, and m=s, t=1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In any factorization of m, one of the factors is m and the other is 1. So m is prime. ∎&lt;br /&gt;
