Agreed. My formal education was from a time when fields, groups, and

If you don't need provably correct answers then just work over CDF or
ComplexField with a precision that you'd like.
If you want to prove something you can use CIF (floating-point complex
interval arithmetic) or QQbar (exact numbers).
The difference between pure mathematics and applications is

The fraction field of the complex numbers are the complex numbers.
For any serious computation you should probably figure out the smallest
field you are really working in;
