Axioms, the starting point within the domain of math (typically) on which to build theorems (mathspeak for conclusions).

There are many important ones used to build the math you know now. Must stem from algebraic premises of (?). STUB

  • A = A (axiom of reflection)
  • A*1 = A (identity axiom)
  • A*0 = 0
