True. Postulate or axiom is a statement that is so obvious or self-evident that no proof is necessary, and which can be used to prove other statements or theorems.

You do might desire to be careful here. 'Postulate' has been used to describe hardship-unfastened innovations that are ordinary with out info yet some human beings insist those are axioms and definitions. although, many mathematical proofs start up via declaring a postulate that then you definately set approximately proving. Very confusing and human beings do get very heated approximately that is right!

That is true by definition; a postulate (or axiom) is something one assumes in order to have a foundation on which to obtain proofs.
