Order Axioms for F. O1 For every x; y 2 F; exactly one of the following holds: either x = y; x < y; or y < x:(Trichotomy Law of Order). O2 For every x; y; z 2 F; if x < y and y < z then x < z: (Transitive Law of Order). O3 For every x; y; z 2 F; if x < y then x + z < y + z (adding a constant to both sides of an inequality does not change the ...
Sep 5, 2021 · The absolute value has a geometric interpretation when considering the numbers in an ordered field as points on a line. the number | a | denotes the distance from the number a to 0. More generally, the number d(a, b) = ∣ a − b is the distance between the points a and b. It follows easily from Proposition 1.4.2 that d(x, y) ≥ 0, and d(x, y ...
1.40. Definition. Order Axioms. A positive set in a field F is a set P c F such that for x, y e F, PI: x, P implies x P Closure under Addition P2: x, y e P implies xy e P Closure under Multiplication P3: x e F implies exactly one of Trichotomy An ordered field is a field with a positive set P. In an ordered field, we define x < y to mean y —x ...
Other non-examples • Some common collections are not fields –The non-negative real numbers •All axioms are satisfied except the existence of additive inverses –There is no non-negative real x such that 3 + x = 0 –The integers •All axioms satisfied except existence of multiplicative inverses –There is no integer n such that 3n = 1

There will be three parts: (i) the nine field axioms, (ii) the four order axioms, and (iii) the completeness axiom. For right now, we will concentrate on the field axioms. Definition.A fieldis a set F with two operations1: +:F ×F →F (addition) and ·:F ×F →F (multiplication), satisfying the following axioms: A1. Addition is commutative.
MATH 162, SHEET 6: THE FIELD AXIOMS We will formalize the notions of addition and multiplication in structures called elds. A eld with a compatible order is called an ordered eld. We will see that Q and R are both examples of ordered elds. De nition 6.1. A binary operation on a set X is a function f: X X ! X: We say that f is associative if:

Example 2 The rational numbers, Q, real numbers, IR, and complex numbers, C are all fields. The natural numbers IN is not a field — it violates axioms (A4), (A5) and (M5). The integers ZZis not a field — it violates axiom (M5). Theorem 3 (Consequences of the Field Axioms) (A) The addition axioms imply (a) x+y= x+z =⇒ y= z (b) x+y= x ...
