|
The converse of a theorem is formed by taking the conclusion as the starting point and having the starting point as the conclusion. Example The converse of Theorem 2 states 'If two angles are equal, then the triangle is isosceles'. |
|
Corollary
|
A corollary follows after a theorem and is a proposition which must be true because of that theorem.
|
|
Implies
|
Implies indicates a logical relationship between two statements, such that if the first is true then the second must be true.
|
|
Proof
|
A proof is a sequence of statements (made up of axioms, assumption and arguments) leading to the establishment of the truth of one final statement.
|
|
