1.3 The Completeness Axiom
Definition
Let E ⊂R be nonempty
(i) The set E is said to be bounded above if and only if there is an M ∈R such that a≤M for all a∈E
(ii) A number M is called an upper bound of the set E if and only if a≤M for all a∈E
(iii) A number s is called supremum of the set E if and only if s is an upper bound of E and s ≤M for all upper bounds M of E. (In this case we shall say that E has a supermum s and shall write s=sup E.)

Proof:
Let s1 and s2be suprema of the same set E. Then both s1
and s2 are upper bounds of E,whence by Definition 1.16(iii), s1 ≤s2and s2≤s1. We conclude by the TrichotomyProperty that s1 =s2 2
