A short theorem used in proving a larger theorem. Related concepts are the axiom, porism, postulate, principle, and theorem. The late mathematician P. Erdős has often been ...

Every odd integer n is a prime or the sum of three primes. This problem is closely related to Vinogradov's theorem.

If the first case of Fermat's last theorem is false for the prime exponent p, then 3^(p-1)=1 (mod p^2).

A specific type of ultraproduct that can be used to construct nonstandard universes and obtain the transfer principle as a corollary of Łoś' theorem for ultraproducts.

The 10_3 configuration of ten lines intersecting three at a time in 10 points which arises in Desargues' theorem. Its Levi graph is the Desargues graph.

The Diophantine equation x^n+y^n=z^n. The assertion that this equation has no nontrivial solutions for n>2 has a long and fascinating history and is known as Fermat's last ...

A conjecture which relates the minimal elliptic discriminant of an elliptic curve to the j-conductor. If true, it would imply Fermat's last theorem for sufficiently large ...

The fundamental theorem(s) of calculus relate derivatives and integrals with one another. These relationships are both important theoretical achievements and pactical tools ...

A conic section that is tangent to all sides of a triangle is called an inconic. Any trilinear equation of the form ...

The Steiner inellipse, also called the midpoint ellipse (Chakerian 1979), is an inellipse with inconic parameters x:y:z=a:b:c (1) giving equation ...
