This is a description of all distinct axioms reoccuring in mathematics. Some axioms are tied only to a single particular subject or situation, and some are more general. Out of the more general ones, the set of the most common axioms consists of the very familiar axioms that occur in many different mathematical areas.
Identity
The first place goes to identity. Almost everybody's got one, except semis.
Associativity
The second place goes to associativity. Hardly a surprise, since this guy has appeared in blockbusters such as "pretty much everyhing that has got to do with numbers", "operators, actually", "operation: binary", to name just a few.
