CORE DEFINITION

Establishing mathematics on a rigorous axiomatic basis, deriving all theorems from a small set of axioms.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

A paradigm of formalization. It provides a thinking paradigm of 'starting from axioms', influencing all of modern mathematics and logic.

In Foundations of Geometry, Hilbert reconstructed Euclidean geometry using the axiomatic method: treating points, lines, and planes as undefined objects satisfying a small set of axioms, emphasizing 'consistency, independence, and completeness', thus initiating the paradigm of formal axiomatic systems.
