A smaller, more specialized area of study or occupation within a larger one.
Let us describe in general the subfield generated by a given element. Let K be a given field, F a subfield of K, and c an element of K. Consider those elements of K which are given by polynomial expressions of the form (1)#92;qquadf(c)#61;a#95;0#43;a#95;1c#43;a#95;2c²#43;...#43;a#95;ncⁿ#92;qquad#92;qquad#92;mbox#123;(each#125;a#95;i#92;mbox#123;in#125;F#92;mbox#123;).#125; [...] If f(c) and g(c) ≠ 0 are polynomial expressions like (1), their quotient f(c)/g(c) is an element of K, called a rational expression in c with coefficients in F. The set of all such quotients is a subfield; it is the field generated by F and c and is conventionally denoted by F(c), with round brackets.
We are now in a position to describe the subfield of K generated by F and our algebraic element u. This subfield F(u) clearly contains the subdomain F[u] of all elements expressible as polynomials f(u) with coefficients in F (cf. (1)). Actually, this domain F[u] is a subfield of K. Indeed, let us find an inverse for any element f(u) ≠ 0 in F[u]. [...] This shows that F[u] is a subfield of K. Since, conversely, every subfield of K which contains F and u evidently contains every polynomial f(u) in F[u], we see that F[u] is the subfield of K generated by F and u.
Use subfield when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
Subfield means A smaller, more specialized area of study or occupation within a larger one.
The closest synonym depends on the sentence and intended sense.
The opposite depends on the specific sense.
