Axiom of choice

Revision as of 23:27, 13 March 2018 by Jlordhe (talk | contribs)

The Axiom of choice is an axiom of set theory. The axiom of choice says that if one is given any collection of boxes, each containing at least one object, it is possible to make a selection of exactly one object from each box, even if the collection is infinite.

It was discovered by German mathematician, Ernst Zermelo in 1904.
