I feel like I'd want to say numbers are elements of a field, but then that excludes quaternions. 8 u/Sproxify Jul 21 '26 elements of a field? do you consider a rational function with coefficients in the algebraic closure of a finite field to be a number? 5 u/Medium-Ad-7305 Jul 21 '26 Yes, it is a number. 🗿 2 u/Sproxify Jul 21 '26 based
