Axiom of Choice : FOLDOC
Axiom of Choice
(AC, or "Choice") An axiom of set theory:
If X is a set of sets, and S is the union of all the elements of X, then there exists a function f:X -> S such that for all non-empty x in X, f(x) is an element of x.
In other words, we can always choose an element from each set in a set of sets, simultaneously.
Function f is a "choice function" for X - for each x in X, it chooses an element of x.
Most people's reaction to AC is: "But of course that's true! From each set, just take the element that's biggest, stupidest, closest to the North Pole, or whatever". Indeed, for any finite set of sets, we can simply consider each set in turn and pick an arbitrary element in some such way. We can also construct a choice function for most simple {infinite sets} of sets if they are generated in some regular way. However, there are some infinite sets for which the construction or specification of such a choice function would never end because we would have to consider an infini
