Review the concept: Zermelo–Fraenkel axioms

The Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms (ZF) are the standard axiom system of set theory, formulated in first-order logic. They allow the usual mathematics to be built from the primitive notions of set and membership (\( \in \)).

\[\forall x\,\forall y\,(\forall z\,(z\in x \leftrightarrow z\in y)\rightarrow x=y)\]
