Every year the many names for mathematical statements cause my students a little anxiety. I want to make an Euler diagram to show how they all overlap and intersect— so please mention any words I could add to this list:
statement
proposition
theorem
axiom
postulate
rule
law
definition
formula
corollary
lemma
conjecture
hypothesis
Can you think of any others? #math #mathematics #mathquestion #definition
