In the second day of the class, the professor continues on the definition of a field.

Combined with a part from the first class, we have a complete definition as follow:

A field is a set "F' with two binary operations +,x defind on it, and two special elements 0 ≠ 1 such that

F1: commutative law

$\forall \!\,$ a, b $\in \!\,$ F: a+b=b+a and a.b=b.a

F2: associative law

$\forall \!\,$ a, b, c $\in \!\,$ F: (a+b)+c=a+(b+c) and (a.b).c= a.(b.c)

F3: the existence of identity elements

$\forall \!\,$ a $\in \!\,$ F, a+o=a and a.1=a

F4: existence of inverses

$\forall \!\,$ a $\in \!\,$ F , $\exists \!\,c,d\in \!\$ F such that a+c=o and a.d=1

F5: contributive law

$\forall \!\,$ a, b, c $\in \!\,$ F, a.(b+c)=a.b + a.c
