``Re: general well-ordering principle'' by akrowne on 2002-01-31 17:49:51
This once came up in my number theory course; the instructor said "does anyone know what the well ordering principle is?" and I replied with the cop-out "the axiom of choice", and she said "no", and I was baffled. Apparently it was the "the naturals can be well-ordered" version. So yes, someone needs to say something about this.
