Incompleteness and Undecidability
The successor function is a fundamental concept in mathematics that, for any natural number, returns the next natural number. This function is essential in the context of defining the natural numbers and their arithmetic properties, particularly when using axiomatic systems like the Peano axioms. The successor function serves as a building block for defining other numerical operations and is a key feature in constructing primitive recursive functions.
congrats on reading the definition of successor function. now let's actually learn it.
