Talk:Residue field

Latest comment: 17 years ago by Jakob.scholbach

It would seem more logical to start with the residue field of a (local) ring! Unless, of course, you believe that schemes come before commutative rings. Arcfrk 20:12, 24 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Oh, I do think rings come before schemes. I didn't know that one speaks of residue fields of local rings, too. I only knew the scheme-context of this notion. So, please go ahead and enhance the description. Jakob.scholbach 22:37, 24 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
