``may wish to generalize'' by saforres on 2002-04-23 21:26:05
You might want to add the simple generalization to an extension of the rationals that isn't all of C:

Let K be an extension of Q. A number $\alpha \in K$ is called an algebraic integer of K it is the root of a monic polynomial with coefficients in $\mathbb{Z}$.
