The basic notions of set theory are defined in [Basic properties of sets](Basic%20properties%20of%20sets.md). There we introduced a formal syntax that will be utilised to define the axioms. For easy reference:
|
|
|
|
- variables $a,b,c,...$ to range over sets
|
|
- variables $x,y,z$ to range over ordinary objects as well as sets.

## Axiom of Extensionality
|
|
|
|
Sets which contain the same members are the same set. If sets A and B contain the same elements then A = B.

|
$$\forall a \forall b [\forall x (x \in a \longleftrightarrow x \in b) \rightarrow a =b]$$
