What are Axioms and Postulate?State their difference
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on logic, an axiom or postulate is a statement that is considered to be self-evident. Both axioms and postulates are assumed to be true without any proof or demonstration. ... Axioms are self-evident assumptions, which are common to all branches of science, while postulates are related to the particular science.
Axioms are :-
-Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another.
-If equals be added to equals, the wholes are equal.
-If equals be subtracted from equals, the remainders are equal.
-Things which coincide with one another are equal to one another.
-The whole is greater
pospulates are :-
-To draw a straight line from any point to any point.
-To produce a finite straight line continuously in a straight line.
-To describe a circle with any center and distance.
-That all right angles are equal to one another.
-That if a straight line falling on two straight lines makes the interior angles on the same side less than two right angles, the straight lines, if produced indefinitely, will meet on that side on which the angles are less that two right angles.*
