Is the set of integers a vector space?

My friend says it's not, because he thinks vectors have to have have at least two elements, otherwise they're scalars. I say that (Z, +, *) satisfies the axioms of a vector space and that's all you need.

What does /sci/ think?

Z is not a field; it has non-zero elements without multiplicative inverses in Z.
