C

Description:

This is a symbol representing the field of complex numbers.

Commented Mathematical property (CMP):
The field of complex numbers is (C, +,0,-,*,1,/), where +,-,*,/ are the standard arithmetic operations.
Formal Mathematical property (FMP):
  
C = field ( C , + , 0 , - , × , 1 , )

R

Description:

This is a symbol representing the field of real numbers.

Commented Mathematical property (CMP):
The field of real numbers is (R, +,0,-,*,1,/), where +,-,*,/ are the standard arithmetic operations.
Formal Mathematical property (FMP):
  
R = field ( R , + , 0 , - , × , 1 , )

Q

Description:

This is a symbol representing the field of rational numbers.

Commented Mathematical property (CMP):
The field of rational numbers is (Q, +,0,-,*,1,/), where +,-,*,/ are the standard arithmetic operations.
Formal Mathematical property (FMP):
  
Q = field ( Q , + , 0 , - , × , 1 , )
Commented Mathematical property (CMP):
The carrier set of this field is the set of rational numbers.
Formal Mathematical property (FMP):
  
carrier ( Q ) = Q
Example:
  
Q = field ( Q , + , 0 , - , × , 1 , λ x . 1 x )
