Axiom ax-mulass 11221

Description: Multiplication of complex numbers is associative. Axiom 10 of 22 for real and complex numbers, justified by Theorem axmulass 11197. Proofs should normally use mulass 11243 instead. (New usage is discouraged.) (Contributed by NM, 22-Nov-1994.)

Assertion

Ref	Expression
ax-mulass	⊢ ((𝐴 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐵 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐶 ∈ ℂ) → ((𝐴 · 𝐵) · 𝐶) = (𝐴 · (𝐵 · 𝐶)))
