Axiomatizable Class

In mathematics, an axiomatizable class is a class whose standard definition can be expressed as a sentence of formal symbols. The resulting sentences that can be built out of the axioms are the topic of study of model theory. Thus, for example, the axiomatic sentences of a multiplicative group are:
\forall xyz \, \, (xy)z = x(yz)
\forall x\,\, x \cdot 1 = x
\forall x\,\, x \cdot x^{-1} = 1.
The axioms of a left R-module are the axioms of a multiplicative group, together with the additional sentences
\forall xy \,\, r(x+y)=r(x)+r(y) for all r\in R
\forall x \,\, (r+s)(x)=r(x)+s(x) for all r,s\in R
\forall x \,\, (rs)(x)=r(s(x)) for all r,s\in R
\forall x \,\, 1(x)=x.
Many of the common classes of mathematics are easily axiomatizable, including the rings, fields, lattices, boolean algebras and the like.
