What's the difference between Law and Property? (Mathematical terms) Is there any difference between saying "Commutative Property of Addition" and "Commutative law of addition"?

They are both equivalent. Throughout my education (I did a maths degree as well), the terminology was almost always 'commutative LAW of addition'. Keep in mind 'Law' and 'Property' are synonyms in this context.

Here's how I would write it. Depends whether you are writing for maths graduates, maths majors or the general public. A property is an attribute of a thing. A property of my car is that it is a silver-grey colour. So, a concept, such as a group or a ring or the set of integers with the operation addition may have a property such as being commutative. The integers have the property of being commutative under addition. A law describes a possible structure possibly including how it is written or how it works. Such as being commutative. The law of something A being commutative under an operation "+" means that for a & b from A; a+b = b+a. Obeying this law is a property of the integers under addition. . I suspect Thomas has a small typo when he writes "communitive".

Communitive property of addition is the correct term. Some people say communitive law but this is incorrect.
