Definition of Axiom. Axiom is a rule or a statement that is accepted as true without proof. An axiom is also called a postulate. Examples of Axiom. Here is an axiom of addition and multiplication. Let x and y be real numbers. Then x + y is also a real number and xy is also a real number.
Axioms and postulates are essentially the same thing: mathematical truths that are accepted without proof. Their role is very similar to that of undefined terms: they lay a foundation for the study of more complicated geometry. Axioms are generally statements made about real numbers. Sometimes they are called algebraic postulates. Often what they say about real numbers holds true for geometric figures, and since real numbers are an important part of geometry when it comes to measuring figures, axioms are very useful. Postulates are generally more geometry-oriented.
