The '''Axiom of choice''' is an [[axiom]] of [[set theory]]. The axiom of choice says that if one is given any collection of boxes, each containing at least one object, it is possible to make a selection of exactly one object from each box, even if the collection is infinite. 

It was discovered by German mathematician, Ernst Zermelo in 1904.
