List of axioms

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of axioms as that term is understood in mathematics, by Wikipedia page. In epistemology, the word axiom is understood differently; see axiom and self-evidence. Individual axioms are almost always part of a larger axiomatic system.

[edit] Zermelo-Frankel axioms

These are the de facto standard axioms for contemporary mathematics or set theory. They can be easily adapted to analogous theories, such as mereology.

See also Zermelo set theory.

[edit] Axiom of choice

With the Zermelo-Frankel axioms above, this makes up the system ZFC in which most mathematics is potentially formalisable.
