2. Proofs involving the addition of natural numbers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofs_involving_the...

   The base case b = 0 follows immediately from the identity element property (0 is an additive identity), which has been proved above: a + 0 = a = 0 + a. Next we will prove the base case b = 1, that 1 commutes with everything, i.e. for all natural numbers a, we have a + 1 = 1 + a.

3. Associative property - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_property

   Likewise, the trivial operation x ∘ y = y (that is, the result is the second argument, no matter what the first argument is) is associative but not commutative. Addition and multiplication of complex numbers and quaternions are associative. Addition of octonions is also associative, but multiplication of octonions is non-associative.

4. Operator associativity - Wikipedia

   Consider the expression 5^4^3^2, in which ^ is taken to be a right-associative exponentiation operator. A parser reading the tokens from left to right would apply the associativity rule to a branch, because of the right-associativity of ^, in the following way: Term 5 is read. Nonterminal ^ is read. Node: "5^". Term 4 is read. Node: "5^4".

5. Addition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition

   Addition is commutative, meaning that one can change the order of the terms in a sum, but still get the same result. Symbolically, if a and b are any two numbers, then a + b = b + a. The fact that addition is commutative is known as the "commutative law of addition" or "commutative property of addition".

6. Associative algebra - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_algebra

   In mathematics, an associative algebra A over a commutative ring (often a field) K is a ring A together with a ring homomorphism from K into the center of A.This is thus an algebraic structure with an addition, a multiplication, and a scalar multiplication (the multiplication by the image of the ring homomorphism of an element of K).

7. Natural number - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_number

   Addition and multiplication are compatible, which is expressed in the distribution law: a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c). These properties of addition and multiplication make the natural numbers an instance of a commutative semiring. Semirings are an algebraic generalization of the natural numbers where multiplication is not necessarily ...
