THEOREM
The"o*rem, n. Etym: [L. theorema, Gr. théorème. See Theory.]
1. That which is considered and established as a principle; hence, sometimes, a rule. Not theories, but theorems (Coleridge. By the theorems, Which your polite and terser gallants practice, I re-refine the court, and civilize Their barbarous natures. Massinger.
2. (Math.)
Definition: A statement of a principle to be demonstrated.
Note: A theorem is something to be proved, and is thus distinguished from a problem, which is something to be solved. In analysis, the term is sometimes applied to a rule, especially a rule or statement of relations expressed in a formula or by symbols; as, the binomial theorem; Taylor's theorem. See the Note under Proposition, n., 5. Binomial theorem. (Math.) See under Binomial.
– Negative theorem, a theorem which expresses the impossibility of any assertion.
