  Axiom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, an axiom is not necessarily a self-evident truth but rather, a formal logical expression used in a deduction to yield further results.
Reasoning about two different structures, for example the natural numbers and the integers, may involve the same logical axioms; the non-logical axioms aim to capture what is special about a particular structure (or set of structures, such as groups).
The axioms are referred to as "4 + 1" because for nearly two millennia the fifth (parallel) postulate ("through a point outside a line there is exactly one parallel") was suspected of being derivable from the first four.

 Axiom   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The word axiom comes from the Greek word αξιωμα (axioma), which means that which is deemed worthy or fit or that which is considered self-evident.
Logical axioms, being mere formulas, are devoid of any meaning; but the point is that when they are interpreted in any universe, they will always hold no matter what values are assigned to the variables.

 Axioms of countability   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Axioms of countability are two properties satisfied by some topological spaces.
We say that a topological space satisfies the first axiom of countability if it has a countable base of neighbourhoods at every point.
Obviously the second axiom of countability implies the first one; the converse is in general not true.

In mathematics, an axiom is not a self-evident truth but rather, a formal logical sentence that constitutes a fundamental brick in the development of a theory.
In all its formalism, the Peano axioms constitute the most widely used axiomatization of arithmetic; these are a set of axioms strong enough to prove several relevant facts of number theory and they allowed Gödel to establish his famous second incompleteness theorem.
This collection of axioms turns out to be incomplete, and many more postulates are necessary to rigorously characterize his geometry (Hilbert used 23).

The word axiom comes from the Greek wordαξιωμα (axioma), which means that which is deemed worthy or fit or that which isconsidered self-evident.
Logical axioms, as the mere formulas that they are, are void of any meaning; but the point is that when they becomeinterpreted in any given universe, they will always hold no matter what values are assigned to the variables.
Thus, this notionof axiom is perhaps the closest to the intended meaning of the word: that axioms are true, no matter when, where orwhy.

 separation axiom
The separation axioms are about the use of topological means to distinguish disjoint sets and distinct points.
The separation axioms all say, in one way or another, that points or sets that are distinguishable or separated in some weak sense must also be separated in some stronger sense.
Most of these axioms have alternative definitions with the same meaning; the definitions given here are those which fall into a consistent pattern relating the various notions of separation defined in the previous section.

For instance, (misquoting Peano) simple arithmetic including addition can be defined and many theorems proven by assuming # a number called 0 exists # every number X has a successor called inc(X) # X+0 = X # inc(X) + Y = X + inc(Y)
Using these axioms, and defining the customary short names 1, 2, 3, and so on for inc(0), inc(inc(0)), inc(inc(inc(0))) respectively, we can show that:

Abstract: In the realm of semiuniform convergence spaces first countability is divisible and leads to a well-behaved topological construct with natural function spaces and one-point extensions such that countable products of quotients are quotients.
Several applications of first countability in a broader context than the usual one of topological spaces are studied.

The definition of first countable space is well established, although its (usual) formulation highly relies on the Axiom of Choice.
In order to obtain, at same time, countable neighborhood bases to every point of the space we have to make arbitrary choices.
Starting from this observation, we will see alternative definitions of first countability that turn out to be non-equivalent, and we study in what conditions their equivalence remains true.
