f (s) A

for every s S.
There are plenty of occasions in analysis where we have to make use
of the axiom of choice to generate a choice function. We would also like
to mention that for many years, mathematicians tried to give a proof
for the “Axiom of choice” and some even tried to “disprove” it. From
