Theorem ac2 10532
Description: Axiom of Choice equivalent. By using restricted quantifiers, we can express the Axiom of Choice with a single explicit conjunction. (If you want to figure it out, the rewritten equivalent ac3 10533 is easier to understand.) Note: aceq0 10190 shows the logical equivalence to ax-ac 10530. (New usage is discouraged.) (Contributed by NM, 18-Jul-1996.)
