Database REAL AND COMPLEX NUMBERS Construction and axiomatization of real and complex numbers Real and complex number postulates restated as axioms ax-pre-lttrn  
				
		 
		
			
		 
		Description:   Ordering on reals is transitive.  Axiom 19 of 22 for real and complex
     numbers, justified by Theorem axpre-lttrn  .  Note:  The more general
     version for extended reals is axlttrn  .  Normally new proofs would use
     lttr  .  (New usage is discouraged.)   (Contributed by NM , 13-Oct-2005)
