Abstract

In this article, we examine the Axiom of Choice and other equivalent principles. We discuss how many mathematical conclusions, previously taken for granted, can be expressed based on the principle of choice. For example, choosing ten numbers (which need not be distinct) from ten boxes is simple and straightforward. However, this choice may not be obvious when the number of choices is infinite. All of these concepts revolve around the principle known as the Axiom of Choice. In this article, we present the principles equivalent to the Axiom of Choice with precise proofs. We also prove some important theorems related to other parts of mathematics with the assistance of the Axiom of Choice and its equivalents.
