:I'm new to adding comments to Wikipedia, my apologies if I screw anything up. Here's my question...There seems to be an ambiguous statement in the Field vector space example. The article states that the basis of a field is the identity element, but it does not specify whether it is the multiplicitive identity element, or the additive identity element. Later in the article the basis is expressed as the set {0), but I don't see how a linear combination of zeros could result in any non-zero element of the field. Shouldn't the basis be {1}?
::It's more or less implicit when you're talking about fields that identity element means multiplicative identity, but the article should be more specific. I couldn't find where {0} was given as a basis, but if it is then it's incorrect since no set containing 0 can be a basis. The basis of {0} is the empty set.--[[User:RDBury|RDBury]] ([[User talk:RDBury|talk]]) 19:43, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
