Ahh, that would explain why the intersection of algebraic integers and Q is Z. I wasn’t convinced of that when I had the notion of algebraic numbers in place of algebraic integers.

I like teaching this kind of stuff to my grade 9 and 10 advanced math classes. It’s not that hard to understand and yet it gives students a sense of wonder about how math works. I might try to show the grade 10s algebraic integers now.
