THEOREM
A theorem is a statement that can be
demonstrated to be true by accepted
mathematical operations and arguments.
In general, a theorem is an embodiment of some
general principle that makes it part of a larger
theory. The process of showing a theorem to be
correct is called a proof.
Examples:
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus,
Pythagorean Theorem, Mean Value Theorem
COROLLARIES
A corollary is a theorem or lemma connected by a
short proof to an existing theorem or lemma.
