Arithmetic structure of integers
Set
definiendum | ⟨Z,+Z,⋅Z⟩ |
postulate | [⟨a,b⟩]+Z[⟨m,n⟩]=[⟨a+m,b+n⟩] |
postulate | [⟨a,b⟩]⋅Z[⟨m,n⟩]=[⟨a m+b n,a n+b m⟩] |
The operations + and ⋅ on the right hand sides are these of arithmetic structure of natural numbers.
Discussion
We'll generally use the notation introduced in integer. We'll also often omit the multiplication sign.
