On Theorem Writing.

Published June 22, 2026

Synopsis:

Here I am going to state what would be needed in order to form a rigorous and umambigious theorem to then be considered provable:

  • State every definitions, context, and domains of the theorem, a theorem that contextualizes is better than a theorem that leaves it to interpretation to the reader.
  • Make sure to proof-read, and if possible, ask a peer for a review. We might not realize how many mistakes we can make in our own work, that's why a pair of fresh eyes is so important.
  • Make sure to read the litterature about what has been done before, just in case you're not rediscovering something that has been stated before.

Takeaway:

It's to take your time and follow these steps, which then would make your work much legible and easier to collaborate with others.

Bonus:

Use LaTeX, it's a great tool, and you'd save others pain with PDFs.

Litterature:

Always read what's been done before, and make sure to always organize your document, one organization could be:

  • Proposition
  • Theorem
  • Proof
  • Remarks

Thank you!

Thanks for reading, I published this because I think it would be cool to share this online.
