Best Answer

Field Axioms are assumed truths regarding a collection of items in a field.

Let a, b, c be elements of a field F. Then:

Commutativity:

a+b=b+a and a*b=b*a

Associativity:

(a+b)+c=a+(b+c) and (a*b)*c = a*(b*c)

Distributivity:

a*(b+c)=a*b+b*c

Existence of Neutral Elements:

There exists a zero element 0 and identify element i, such that,

a+0=a

a*i=a

Existence of Inverses:

There is an element -a such that,

a+(-a)=0

for each a unequal to the zero element, there exists an a' such that

a*a'=1

What are the kinds of axioms?

An Axiom is a mathematical statement that is assumed to be true. There are five basic axioms of algebra. The axioms are the reflexive axiom, symmetric axiom, transitive axiom, additive axiom and multiplicative axiom.


What are the types of axioms?

There are two types of mathematical axioms: logical and non-logical. Logical axioms are the "self-evident," unprovable, mathematical statements which are held to be universally true across all disciplines of math. The axiomatic system known as ZFC has great examples of logical axioms. I added a related link about ZFC if you'd like to learn more. Non-logical axioms, on the other hand, are the axioms that are specific to a particular branch of mathematics, like arithmetic, propositional calculus, and group theory. I added links to those as well.


Why does the fact 0 has no multiplicative inverse still mean R is still a field?

In the definition of a field it is only required of the non-zero numbers to have a multiplicative inverse. If we want 0 to have a multiplicative inverse, and still keep the other axioms we see (for example by the easy to prove result that a*0 = 0 for all a) that 0 = 1, now if that does not contradict the axioms defining a field (some definitions allows 0 = 1), then we still get for any number x in the field that x = 1*x = 0*x = 0, so we would get a very boring field consisting of only one element.


What are axioms?

axioms are statements which cannot be proved.but these statements are accepted universally.we know that any line can be drawn joining any two points.this does not have a proof


What is the difference between axiom and property in algebra?

properties are based on axioms

Such terms are called axioms, or postulates.Exactly which terms are defined to be axioms depends on the specific system used.


Do axioms and postulates require proof?

No. Axioms and postulates are statements that we accept as true without proof.

Does Godels Incompleteness Theorem imply axioms do not exist?

No, not at all. The Incompleteness Theorem is more like, that there will always be things that can't be proven. Further, it is impossible to find a complete and consistent set of axioms, meaning you can find an incomplete set of axioms, or an inconsistent set of axioms, but not both a complete and consistent set.

Is it not an error that it states in the chapter Background in last the last part that an inconsistent set of axioms will prove every statement in its language?

Your question is somewhat hard to follow, but it is a fact of logic and mathematics that if the set of axioms are inconsistent, then every statement in the language of the axioms can be proven. (You can always get a proof by contradiction just from axioms along )
