What are axioms??

An Axiom is a mathematical statement that is assumed to be true. There are five basic axioms of algebra. The axioms are the reflexive axiom, symmetric axiom, transitive axiom, additive axiom and multiplicative axiom. Reflexive Axiom: A number is equal to itelf. (e.g a = a). An axiom would refer to a self-evident assumption common to many areas of inquiry, while a postulate referred to a hypothesis specific to a certain line of inquiry, that was accepted without proof. As an example, in Euclid's Elements, you can compare "common notions" (axioms) with postulates.

Axioms or Postulate is defined as a statement that is accepted as true and correct, called as a theorem in mathematics. Axioms present itself as self-evident on which you can base any arguments or inference. These are universally accepted and general truth. 0 is a natural number, is an example of axiom.
