==Peano Arithmetic== The axioms that define the natural numbers. - Good Math pg5. * Initial Value Rule - There is one object called 0 and 0 is a natural number. * Successor rule: For every natural number n there is exactly one other natural number called its sucessor, s(n). * Uniqueness Rule: No two natural numbers have the same sucessor. *Equality Rules: Numbers can be compared for equality. ** Equality is reflexive: - Every number is equal to itself ** Equality is symmetric: a=b then b=a ** Equality is transitive: if a=b and b=c then a=c * Induction rule: For P, P is true for all natural numbers if. ** 1. P is true about 0. P(0)=true. ** 2. If you assume P is true for a natural number n(P(n) is true). Then you can prove that P is true for the sucessor s(n) of n, P(s(n) == true. ===Addition=== * Commutative: n+m = m+n * Identity: n+0 = 0+n=n * Recursion: m+s(n) = s(m + n)
