Let [Formula: see text] be a field of [Formula: see text] with finitely many square classes. In this paper, we define a new rational valued invariant of [Formula: see text], and call it the division probability of [Formula: see text]. We compute it for all fields of elementary type. Further, we show that [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the number of Witt-equivalence classes of fields with [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] is the count of rational numbers that appear as division probabilities for fields [Formula: see text] of elementary type with [Formula: see text]. In the paper, we also determine [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text] and show that rational numbers of type [Formula: see text] always occur as division probability for a suitable field [Formula: see text].

Two further new methods are put forward for constructing the complete ordered field of real numbers out of the ordered field of rational numbers. The methods are motivated by some little known results on the representation of real numbers via alternating series of rational numbers. Amongst advantages of the methods are the facts that they do not require an arbitrary choice of "base" or equivalence classes or any similar constructs. The methods bear similarities to a method of construction due to Rieger, which utilises continued fractions.

The aim of this paper is to provide some examples in Cogalois Theory showing that the property of a field extension to be radical (resp. Kneser, or Cogalois) is not transitive and is not inherited by subextensions. Our examples refer especially to extensions of type [Formula: see text]. We also effectively calculate the Cogalois groups of these extensions. A series of applications to elementary arithmetic of fields, like: • for what n, d ∈ ℕ* is [Formula: see text] a sum of radicals of positive rational numbers • when is [Formula: see text] a finite sum of monomials of form [Formula: see text], where r, j1,…, jr ∈ ℕ*, c ∈ ℚ*, and [Formula: see text] are also presented.

We introduce the two new concepts, productly linearly independent sequences and productly irrational sequences. Then we prove a criterion for which certain infinite sequences of rational numbers are productly linearly independent. As a consequence we obtain a criterion for the irrationality of infinite products and a criterion for a sequence to be productly irrational.

This part describes the agent-based and computational model for Agent_Zero and demonstrates its capacity for generative minimalism. It first explains the replicability of the model before offering an interpretation of the model by imagining a guerilla war like Vietnam, Afghanistan, or Iraq, where events transpire on a 2-D population of contiguous yellow patches. Each patch is occupied by a single stationary indigenous agent, which has two possible states: inactive and active. The discussion then turns to Agent_Zero's affective component and an elementary type of bounded rationality, as well as its social component, with particular emphasis on disposition, action, and pseudocode. Computational parables are then presented, including a parable relating to the slaughter of innocents through dispositional contagion. This part also shows how the model can capture three spatially explicit examples in which affect and probability change on different time scales.

<em>Ring of integers under the addition and multiplication as integral domain can be imbedded to the field of rational numbers. In this paper we make&nbsp; a construction such that any integral domain can be&nbsp; a field of quotient. The construction contains three steps. First, we define element of field F from elements of integral domain D. Secondly, we show that the binary operations in fare well-defined. Finally, we prove that </em><em>&nbsp;</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>:</em><em> </em><em>D </em><em>&reg;</em><em> </em><em>F is an isomorphisma. In this case, the polynomial ring F[x] as the integral domain can be imbedded to the field of quotient.</em>
