Mathematics is the study of number, space and concepts related to them. This subject finds its application in science, engineering, management, etc. Mathematics is also concerned with proofs of mathematical arguments to come up with new results that are then used in other fields of study....
In mathematics, a theorem is a statement that has been proved, or can be proved. The proof of a theorem is a logical argument that uses the inference rules of a deductive system to establish that the theorem is a logical consequence of the axioms and previously proved theorems. What is me...

A formula is a mathematical equation to solve a geometry problem while a theorem is a statement that is proved using previously known facts. For example, the “Pythagoras Theorem” proved that a2 + b2 = c2 for a right-angled triangle, where a and b are the sides of the right-angled tri...
, Second Edition offers new insights into recent mathematical developments and describes proofs of the Four-Color Theorem and Fermat's Last Theorem, problems that were still open when Courant and Robbins wrote this masterpiece, but ones that have since been solved. Formal mathematics is like ...
This sort of inductive reasoning is often entirely convincing; the prediction that the sun will rise tomorrow in the east is as certain as anything can be, but the character of this statement is not the same as that of a theorem proved by strict logical or mathematical reasoning. (查看原文...
in mathematics. A binomial is generally written as axm + bxn, where axm and bxn are monomials that add up to form the binomials. Here, a and b are numbers, m and n are non-negative distinct integers, and x is a variable with an unfixed value. What exactly is the binomial theorem?
And another thing I'd put down here is the pleasure in seeing net results or methods of arriving at results needed, designs of engineers, equipment, and so on.I get a big bang myself out of providing a theorem. If I've been trying to prove a mathematical theorem for a week or so ...
For example: the triangle inequality is a theorem of Euclidean geometry. But it is taken as an axiom for the study of metric spaces. By doing so, this one axiom forces much of the Euclidean isometric structure. As such, it becomes a code or litmus test for the "Euclidean-ness" of a ...
