Give me some examples of basis for $\mathbb{R}$ (as vector space over field $k=\mathbb{Q}$).
Thanks.

The existence of such Hamel basis is ensured only by the AC(Axiom of Choice), and there seems no way to construct a concrete example of such a basis without reference to AC. I do not know much about this topic, but I believe that this is equivalent to some weaker formulation of AC. That is, the existence of a Hamel basis of $\mathbb{R}$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ is independent to ZF. – 2012-02-24

Please give me orders; I really enjoy being told what to do. Oh, wait. I *don't*. Never mind... – 2012-02-24
