The following version gave rise to its name: For any set X there is a function f , with domain , so that f(x) is a member of x for every nonempty x in X Such an f is called a ``choice function" on X . [Note that X (0) means X with the empty set removed. Also note that in Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory all mathematical objects are sets so each member of X is itself a set.] The Axiom of Choice (AC) is one of the most discussed axioms of mathematics, perhaps second only to Euclid's parallel postulate. The axioms of set theory provide a foundation for modern mathematics in the same way that Euclid's five postulates provided a foundation for Euclidean geometry, and the questions surrounding AC are the same as the questions that surrounded Euclid's Parallel Postulate: Can it be derived from the other axioms?

http://planetmath.org/encyclopedia/AxiomOfChoice.html

Extractions: axiom of choice (Axiom) The Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms for set theory are more or less uncontroversial. However, there is another axiom , the axiom of choice , which is more controversial; it is therefore usually segregated from the others. When the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms are accepted along with the axiom of choice, the whole axiom system is often called ``ZFC'' (for ``Zermelo-Frankel with Choice''). Axiom (Axiom of choice) Let be a set of nonempty sets. Then there exists a function such that for all The function is sometimes called a choice function on For finite sets , the axiom of choice is unnecessary to prove the existence of a choice function. It is only necessary for infinite (and usually uncountable ) sets that it becomes a problem. Here one can see why it is not considered ``obvious'' and always taken for an axiom by everyone: one really cannot imagine any process which makes uncountably many selections without also imagining some rule for making the selections. Given such a rule, the axiom of choice is not needed.

http://www.mtnmath.com/whatrh/node57.html

Extractions: Axiom of Choice The Axiom of Choice is not part of ZF. It is however widely accepted and critical to some proofs. The combination of this axiom and the others in ZF is called ZFC The axiom states that for any collection of non empty sets there exists a choice function that can select an element from every member of . In other words for every A mathematically complete statement of the above requires a definition in the language of set theory of function. A function is a set of ordered pairs where the first element is in the domain of the function and the second element is in the range of the function. Each pair maps an element of the domain uniquely into an element of the range. Thus each first element must occur only once as in the set that defines the function. . Essentially these are the sets one can build up by applying the axioms of ZF. In this model the axiom of choice is true. However Paul Cohen constructed models of ZF in which the Axiom of Choice was false making it clear that this axiom cannot be derived from the other axioms. It is a strange axiom since it would seem to be obvious. If one has a collection of sets then one should be able to choose one member from each set. But in general there is no way to do this using the axioms of ZF. It is one example of the strange nature of the infinite in formal mathematics. The real numbers derived from the power set allow one to search over all reals. This leads to many other strange questions and another postulate sometimes needed for theorems that is not derivable from the other axioms. This is the Continuum Hypothesis

http://at.yorku.ca/z/a/a/b/18.htm

Extractions: by Eric Schechter (Department of Mathematics, Vanderbilt University, Nashville TN 37240-0001, U.S.A.) The Axiom of Choice (AC) has many important equivalent forms in many branches of mathematics Zorn's Lemma, the Well Ordering Principle, the Vector Basis Theorem. In general topology, perhaps the most important equivalent is Tychonov's Product Theorem: any product of compact topological spaces, when equipped with the product topology, is also compact. Some other statements about product topologies are also equivalent: the product of complete uniform spaces, when equipped with the product uniformity, is also complete; the product of closures of subsets of topological spaces is equal to the closure of the product of those subsets. The term ``constructive'' is used in different fashion by different mathematicians. For the most part, it means that we can ``find'' the object in question, and not just prove that it exists. The Axiom of Choice is the most well-known nonconstructive assertion of existence; it has important consequences for many branches of mathematics. The Axiom of Foundation (also known as the Axiom of Regularity) is also nonconstructive, but it has few applications in ``ordinary'' mathematics (i.e., outside of set theory). However, nonconstructiveness can occur not only in our axioms, but even in our reasoning:

It was formulated in by Ernst Zermelo . While it was originally controversial, it is now accepted and used casually by most mathematicians. However, there are still schools of mathematical thought, primarily within set theory, which either reject the axiom of choice, or even investigate consequences of its negation. The axiom of choice is typically abbreviated AC, or C as a suffix. The axiom of choice states: Let X be a set of non-empty sets. Then we can choose a member from each set in X Stated more formally: Let X be a set of non-empty sets. Then there exists a choice function f defined on X . In other words, there exists a function f defined on X , such that for each set S in X f S ) is an element of S Another formulation of the axiom of choice states: Given any set of mutually disjoint non-empty sets, there exists at least one set that contains exactly one element in common with each of the non-empty sets.

http://www.math.uchicago.edu/~mileti/museum/choice.html

Extractions: In America, every state has a governor which represents it. Can you imagine a country where this is not possible? That is, can you picture a country (such that each state has at least one person living it to avoid trivialities) where we could not select a governor to represent each state? Such an idea seems preposterous. After all, we can simply go through each state one-by-one and choose a random person to designate as governor. If we translate the above statement into an abstract mathematical setting, we are saying that given any collection of nonempty sets, we may choose one object from each set. This seemingly trivial statement is known as the Axiom of Choice (since it says that we may choose a representative from each set) and has had a remarkable influence on the development of mathematics since the beginning of the twentieth century. How could such an obvious principle have such an impact? To first understand the subtleties of the Axiom of Choice, one has to realize that when phrased in such an general setting, the statement is not as obvious as one would originally think. When considering countries in the example above, you probably never thought about a country that has infinitely many states. What happens if you imagine such a country? If we tried to list the states in some order and one-by-one to pick out representatives, then we would never finish after a finite number of steps. Imagine the federal government trying to finalize the results of the election from an infinite number of states. It takes some nontrivial amount of time to fill out the necessary paperwork and swear in a governor, so if only one federal office was in charge of the election, then they would never finish the entire task. To further complicate the matter, we know that there are

Extractions: In mathematics , the axiom of choice is an axiom of set theory . It was formulated about a century ago by Ernst Zermelo , and was quite controversial at the time. It states the following: Let X be a collection of non-empty sets . Then we can choose a member from each set in that collection. Stated more formally: There exists a function f defined on X such that for each set S in X f S ) is an element of S Another formulation of the axiom of choice (AC) states: Given any set of mutually exclusive non-empty sets, there exists at least one set that contains exactly one element in common with each of the non-empty sets. For many years, the axiom of choice was used implicitly. For example, a proof might have, after establishing that the set S contains only non-empty sets, said "let F(X) be one of the members of X for all X in S ." Here, the existence of the function F depends on the axiom of choice. The principle seems obvious: if there are several boxes, each containing at least one item, the axiom simply states that one can choose exactly one item from each box. Although the statement sounds straightforward, there is controversy over what it means to

http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/A/axiom_of_choice.html

Extractions: An axiom in set theory S is a collection of non-empty sets , then there exists a set that has exactly one element in common with every set S of S . Put another way, there exists a function f with the property that, for each set S in the collection, f S ) is a member of S . Bertrand Russell summed it up neatly: "To choose one sock from each of infinitely many pairs of socks requires the Axiom of Choice, but for shoes the Axiom is not needed. His point is that the two socks in a pair are identical in appearance, so, to pick one of them, we have to make an arbitrary choice. For shoes, we can use an explicit rule, such as "always choose the left shoe." Russell specifically mentions infinitely many pairs, because if the number is finite then AC is superfluous: we can pick one member of each pair using the definition of "nonempty" and then repeat the operation finitely many times using the rules of formal logic. AC lies at the heart of a number of important mathematical arguments and results. For example, it is equivalent to the

http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/cebrown/notes/axiom-of-choice.html

Extractions: First, here's a real link to information on the Axiom of Choice. Zermelo identified the axiom of choice in 1904 when he used it to proved the well-ordering principle. Later, in 1908, he defended the use of choice in the original 1904 proof as well as in a newer proof of the well-ordering principle. The axiom of choice was also an involved in the proofs of the Lowenheim-Skolem theorem. Lowenheim's original proof contained gaps that could be filled using versions of the axiom of choice. Skolem filled in these gaps in two different ways (yeilding two slightly different results). One way used choice; the other did not. Fraenkel proved the independence of the axiom of choice using the idea of Russell's socks. This technique of involves constructing permutation models (requiring the existence of urelements) known as Fraenkel-Mostowski models. Godel's constructible universe showed the consistency of the axiom of choice. Cohen later proved the independence of the axiom of choice and the continuum hypothesis using forcing. Church included a version of the axiom of choice in his type theory.
