    Example of a formal system in mathematics
    Symbols: 1, ×, =, 2, 3, 4, …

    Meaningful: 1×1=1, 1×2=2, 2×3=6, …

    Meaningless: ××==2, 1×=4, =×3

    Axiom: 1×1=1

    Derivation rule:
    From a×b=c, derive a×(b+1)=c+a.

    Yes Axioms has to be true in a particular System. If Axiom is false then the whole tree will be false there will be no point on using the derivation rule.
