Disambiguation
I think this page should stay as a disambiguation page, even though only mathematical pages link to it. If I'm looking for "field" while thinking of physics, I should not be redirected to the mathematical version and then having to figure out that I should type "(physics)" in the URL. - Hankwang 10:27, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)

What exacty is a field (area of activity)?
I am wanting to know what exactly is a field meaning an area of activity. I would like examples of fields, meaning whats types of fields are there and what group does each field belong to. Please send answers to my talk page. Heegoop, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Math fields?
This makes it look like a scalar field, vector field, and tensor field are examples of "fields" in the sense of objects with multiplication and addition operations defined. That isn't true, right? That's just a terminology concidence, I thought. I thought a field in the sense of a mapping of points in space to something was unrelated to the other meaning. Is there a multiplication operation defined for a vector field? 146.6.200.61 (talk) 20:04, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Science and mathematics
I suggest that "Science and mathematics" should be split into three : "Mathematics", "Science" (in that order), and residuals to be put elsewhere. 94.30.84.71 (talk) 16:16, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Warfare
I think the "Warfare" use of "Field", as in "Field Marshal", "Field Promotion", an Army in the Field, etc., deserves an entry or section of entries, but I don't know where its link(s) should point to. 94.30.84.71 (talk) 16:19, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
