Proof

(related to Proposition: Algebraic Structure of Real Numbers Together with Addition and Multiplication)

The set of real numbers \(\mathbb R\), together with the specific addition operation "\(+\)", and the specific multiplication operation "\(\cdot\)", forms the field the algebraic structure \((\mathbb R, + , \cdot)\). This is because:

  1. We have shown that the set \((\mathbb R, + )\) is a commutative group.
  2. We have shown that the set \((\mathbb R^*, \cdot )\) is a commutative group, in which \(\mathbb R^*\) denotes all non-zero real numbers.
  3. We have shown that the set \((\mathbb R^*, \cdot )\) is a commutative group, in which \(\mathbb R^*\) denotes all non-zero real numbers.
