    Is S Isomorphic to Any Commonly Known Fields?

    Homework Statement let S be the ring of all pairs (q,s) with q,s being rational. define (q,s) + (q',s') = (q+q',s+s') and (q,s)(q',s') = (qs'+q's,3qq'+ss') Prove that S is a field. Homework Equations Try proving that it is isomorphic to something else using the First homomorphism...
