The axioms of Peano Arithmetic
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The quotations at the head of this chapter is how Peano stated his famous five axioms of arithmetic. (His notation looks surprisingly modern. In particular his use of ⊃) for implication and set-inclusion has become the modern-day ⊃i and ⊃, , although the ‘subset’ relation symbol ⊃) is now written the other way round, as ⊆ !) Essentially, Peano’s axioms are those of PA− together with the second-order induction axiom where X ranges over all subsets of the domain of the stucture under consideration, and x, y range over elements of this domain.
