6. Mathematics / B. Foundations for Mathematics / 4. Axioms for Number / d. Peano arithmetic

17459	Frege's Theorem explains why the numbers satisfy the Peano axioms [Heck]
	Full Idea: The interest of Frege's Theorem is that it offers us an explanation of the fact that the numbers satisfy the Dedekind-Peano axioms.
