Definition talk:Field Norm of Complex Number

We have Modulus is Norm which suggests that the "norm" is $\sqrt {a^2 + b^2}$. Can this be reviewed? --prime mover (talk) 03:41, 30 July 2017 (EDT)


 * This is another type of norm, so this definition is unrelated to that theorem. It says "Modulus is Norm" because what is usually called "absolute value" is called "Norm" on . Norm has a lot of different meanings. Modulus and Absolute Value do not. --barto (talk) 04:16, 30 July 2017 (EDT)


 * For example, a "Norm" on the complex numbers could either be an absolute value or a norm when $\C$ is viewed as a vector space over, say, $\R$. Those interpretations are not equivalent. --barto (talk) 04:19, 30 July 2017 (EDT)
