Definition talk:Field (Abstract Algebra)

Campo or cuerpo?
So Fabianhjr reckons that "field" is "campo" but 2.136.212.96 added this as "cuerpo" back in Sept 2011. According to Spanish Wikipedia, it seems to be "cuerpo".

Is Mexican Spanish specifically different in this context? My understanding is that the original word was coined by Dedekind who called it Körper ("body"), and it was only called a "field" by Hastings who mistranslated it. French, Spanish and Dutch took the word from the German, while Russian adopted it from the English (specifically American). Did the Mexican mathematical tradition continue to propagate the mistake made by Hastings and translate the word "field" back again into Spanish as "campo" rather than adopt the European Spanish tradition of calling it a "cuerpo" (body)? --prime mover (talk) 16:50, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
