    This document discusses the typical components of a mathematical system: undefined terms which cannot be precisely defined but are accepted arbitrarily to facilitate development, defined terms which are defined in terms of undefined terms, axioms and postulates which are considered general truths, and theorems which are statements arrived at by applying rules of implication to axioms and previous statements. It provides examples like points and numbers as undefined terms, angles and circles as defined terms, and that angles in a semicircle are right angles as a theorem.

    DHANALEKSHMI P S

    B Ed MATHEMATICS
    A typical mathematics system has the following
    four parts:
     Undefined terms

     Defined terms

     Axioms and postulates

     Theorems
    Undefined Terms
    In mathematical system we come across many terms
    which cannot be precisely defined . In modern
    mathematics we accept certain undefined terms . The
    choice of the undefined terms is completely arbitrary
    and generally to facilitate the development of the
    structure. Eg: point, plane, number, variable , line
    etc.
    Defined Terms
    We defined the other terms of the mathematical system

    in terms of undefined terms.

    Eg: angle, line segment , circle etc.


    Axioms and Postulates
    Early Greeks considered postulates as general
    truths common to all studies and axioms as the
    truths relating to the special study at hand.
    Theorems
    A statement that we arrive at by successive application of
    the rule of implication to the axiom and statements
    previously arrived is called theorems. For example,
    Angle in a semicircle are right angles.
