We define R to be the set in which two operations are defined, + : R x R + R, and x : Rx R + R. and such that (R, +, x) satisfies the following axioms: Field arioms: (i) the commutative property of the addition and multiplication operations: a+b = b+ a; ab = ba; (ü) the associative property of the addition and multiplication operations: (a + b) +c = a+ (b+c); (ab)e = a (be); (ii) the distributive property of products over sums (a + b) c = ac + be, a (b+ c) = ab+ ac; (iv) the existence of an additive identity 0 and a distinct multiplicative iden- tity, that is, 1 + 0, satisfying a +0 = a for all a E R and a x1 = a for all a € R; (v) for each element a E R, the existence of an additive inverse b, also called opposite, i.e an element b such that a+ b = 0; (vi) for each element a + 0 there exists a multiplicative inverse b, ie. an element b such that a x b = 1; Ordering arioms: There exists a subset of R, which we denote R* which does not contain 0, which satisfies the following properties: (vii) R* is closed under the operations of sum and multiplication, that is: a, be Rt = a+ b, ab € Rt; (viii) for any a ER, either a E R+, or -a e R*, or a = 0 (ir) for a, b, c € R, a – bER* and b – e eR* = a - ceRt. Besides the field axioms ((i)-(vi) and the ordering axioms (vii)-(iz), which are also satisfied by the set of rational numbers Q, the real numbers also satisfy (x) the completeness ariom.
