I. AXIOMS OF ADDITION:

The function +:\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R} defined as \left( x,y \right)\to x+y\in \mathbb{R} for each \left( x,y \right) in \mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R} satisfies the following properties:

I{{}_{1}}.\,\forall a,b\in \mathbb{R},a+b=b+a,

I{{}_{2}}.\,\forall a,b,c\in \mathbb{R},a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c,
