Finite fields of complex numbers

I don't understand why (1i) is in the set of element of R2 in the solution.



My understanding is that Z/2Z={0,1}, endowed with addition and multiplication mod 2. So wouldn't the elements of R2 be {0,1,i,1+i}? And shouldn't the multiplication table of R2 be something like this?

Answer



Yes, you are right, the elements of R2 are 0, 1, i, and 1+i. And since, in Z/2Z, 1=1, 1+i=1i there.
