    MHB Is the Axiom of Choice Necessary to Well-Order Finite Sets?

    Good idea. Suppose that k is well ordered. k+1= k U {k} First of all I'll define an ordering on k+1. If s and t are both in k then I use the ordering from k. If one of s and t is k then k>s. Suppose that S is a nonempty subset of k+1. Then if it doesn't contain k it has a lowest member. If...

    MHB Is the Axiom of Choice Necessary to Well-Order Finite Sets?

    Hi, I want to show that there exists a well ordering for every finite set. (I know if you add axiom of choice you can prove this theorem for infinite sets too but I think the finite sets do not need axiom of choice to become well ordered)
