Jump to: navigation, search

An axiom system written in the language of restricted predicate calculus (that is, in a first-order language). Examples of elementary axiom systems are those of formal arithmetic (cf. Arithmetic, formal), the Zermelo–Fraenkel system of set theory (see Axiomatic set theory), and the system of the theory of types (cf. Types, theory of).
