book: Evaluation points are elements of fields, not groups
Polynomials require both addition and multiplication, which fields have, whereas a group only specifies a single operation.

Jack Grigg cf68b5ba05 book: Clarify meaning of "evaluation point" in our context
Polynomial evaluation points and elliptic curve points are both things
we rely on, but never in the same context (we either use elliptic curve
points inside circuits, or implement proving systems on top of them).

Daira Hopwood cda768aa00 Improvements to background section:
* describe groups in general, rather than via the example of F_p^*
* explain the isomorphism between group elements and scalars, and how it is useful
* corrections and pedantry :-)
