Concepts
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
★★★☆☆The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus shows differentiation and integration are inverse operations. It allows computing definite integrals via antiderivatives.
Fundamental Theorem of Algebra
★★★★☆The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra states every polynomial of degree n≥1 has exactly n roots (counting multiplicity) in complex numbers.
Fermat's Last Theorem
★★★★★For integer n ≥ 3, there are no positive integer solutions x, y, z satisfying xⁿ + yⁿ = zⁿ.
Prime Number Theorem
★★★★★The Prime Number Theorem states that π(x), the count of primes ≤ x, is asymptotic to x/ln(x).
Mean Value Theorem
★★★☆☆The Mean Value Theorem states for a function continuous on [a,b] and differentiable on (a,b), there exists a point where tangent slope equals secant slope.
Bayes' Theorem
★★★☆☆Bayes' Theorem is a formula for reversing conditional probabilities. Used to update beliefs given new evidence.
Noether's Theorem
★★★★★Noether's Theorem states that every continuous symmetry of a physical system corresponds to a conserved quantity.
Pythagorean Theorem
★☆☆☆☆In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of squares of the other two sides. Mathematics' most famous theorem.
Central Limit Theorem
★★★★☆The distribution of sum of many independent random variables approaches normal distribution regardless of original distribution.
Intermediate Value Theorem
★★☆☆☆If continuous f on [a,b] and k is between f(a) and f(b), there exists c in (a,b) with f(c) = k.
Stokes' Theorem
★★★★★Stokes' Theorem states the surface integral of curl equals the line integral around the boundary. Generalizes the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems
★★★★★In any consistent formal system containing arithmetic, there exist true but unprovable statements. Also, the system cannot prove its own consistency.
