Tarski's axiomatization of the reals



In 1936, Alfred Tarski axiomatized the real numbers and their arithmetic using only the 8 axioms shown below. Moreover, those axioms invoked a mere four primitive notions: the set of reals denoted R, a binary relation ordering R, denoted by infix <, a binary operation of addition over R, denoted by infix +, and the constant 1.
