A field is a commutative ring with inverses for all non-zero elements.
- add : α → α → α
- mul : α → α → α
- neg : α → α
- sub : α → α → α
- inv : α → α
- div : α → α → α
- Division is multiplication by the inverse. 
- Zero is not equal to one: fields are non trivial. 
- The inverse of zero is zero. This is a "junk value" convention. 
- The inverse of a non-zero element is a right inverse. 
- The zeroth power of any element is one. 
- The (n+1)-st power of any element is the element multiplied by the n-th power. 
- Raising to a negative power is the inverse of raising to the positive power.
