What is the written definition of an ordered field?   A field F is orderable if it has a subset F+ such that F+ is also closed under addition/multiplication and that for any element in F, its unit is in F+  
🗑
What is the written definition of a ring?   A set with two binary operations: addition and multiplication, provided that the set is abelian under addition, that multiplication is associative, and that both the distributive laws hold for all elements of the set.  
🗑

🗑
What is the list definition of a field?   1. Is a ring 2. Has multiplicative identity / multiplicative inverse 3. Multiplication is commutative (abelian)  
🗑
What is the list definition of an ordered field?   1. A field 2. A Set 3. Has a subset 4. The subset contains the additive/multiplicative inverses

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
