There are five of them, also known as Peano's axioms:

  1. 0 is a number.
  2. If n is a number then n's successor is a number.
  3. 0 is not the successor of a number.
  4. If two numbers have successors that are equal then the numbers themselves are equal.
  5. If S is a set that contains 0 and also the successor of every number that is in S then every number is in S.

Who developed a set of postulates?

The set of postulates, known as the "postulates of geometry," were developed by the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid around 300 BCE. In his work "Elements," Euclid outlined five fundamental postulates that serve as the foundation for Euclidean geometry. These postulates include the concepts of straight lines, circles, and the idea that parallel lines never meet. Euclid's postulates have had a lasting impact on mathematics and geometry throughout history.
