equality 8 axioms: A4M3D1 can lead to P3 of uniqueness
A1. associativity: (k + m) + n = k + (m + n)
A2. commutativity: m+n=n+m
A3. additive identity: 0 + n=n
A4. additive inverse: n + (-n) = 0
M3. multiplicative identity: 1*n = n
D. distributivity: n(k + m) = nk + nm = kn + mn = (k + m)n:
P4. n = -(-n)
P11. 0*n = 0
P12. (-1) n=-n, (-m) n=m (-n) = - mn
order 3 axioms; Peano axiom
O1: m>0, n>0 then mn>0, m+n>0
O2 = trichotomy
cancellation law: m<n ó k+m < k+n
transitivity: If k < m and m < n; then k < n
P19. c. If m < n and k > 0; then mk < nk:
d. If m < n and k < 0; then mk > nk:
e. If b < k and m < n; then b + m < k + n:
the first law of disjunction: If we consider the statement P or Q, and if P is not true (i.e., does not
hold), then we conclude that Q is true (holds).
the well-ordering axiom: Every nonempty subset of Z+ contains a smallest element
Division Algorithm: a=qb+r unique expression
P29. if d|a and d|b then d|r
Euclidean Algorithm: a=bq1+r1; b=r1*q2+r2 until rk=rk+1 * qk+2 , rk = gcd (a,b)
Theorem P49 ab=gcd(a,b) * lcm(a, b)
Principle of Mathematical Induction, deducted from Peano axiom.
second principle of induction, k<n true -> n true
Fundamental theorem of arithmetic: prime decomposition is possible and unique
