How to use theorem in a sentence?

  1. Henri Poincare:

    Thus, be it understood, to demonstrate a theorem, it is neither necessary nor even advantageous to know what it means....[A] machine might be imagined where the assumptions were put in at one end, while the theorems came out at the other, like the legendary Chicago machine where the pigs go in alive and come out transformed into hams and sausages. No more than these machines need the mathematician know what he does.

  2. David Eisenbud:

    The legend around this chalk is that it's impossible to write a false theorem using the chalk, but I think I've disproved that many times.

  3. E. Kim Nebeuts:

    To state a theorem and then to show examples is literally to teach backwards.
