- The regular heptagon cannot be constructed using only a straightedge and compass construction; this can be proven using the field of constructible numbers.
- The multiplication of complex numbers can be visualized geometrically by rotations and scalings.
- The geometric mean theorem asserts that $h 2 = pq$ . Choosing $q = 1$ allows construction of the square root of a given constructible number $p$ .
- In modular arithmetic modulo 12, $9 + 4 = 1$ since $9 + 4 = 13$ in $Z$ , which divided by $12$ leaves remainder $1$ . However, $Z /12 Z$ is not a field because $12$ is not a prime number.
- Each bounded real set has a least upper bound.
- The sum of three points $P$ , $Q$ , and $R$ on an elliptic curve $E$ (red) is zero if there is a line (blue) passing through these points.
- A compact Riemann surface of genus two (two handles). The genus can be read off the field of meromorphic functions on the surface.
- The fifth roots of unity form a regular pentagon.
