Trying to find a previously posted list of proofing theorems and postulates

In summary, the speaker spent a considerable amount of time searching for a post from a member that was shared among other members and contained a list of 10 items, including the triangle inequality theorem. They recall the poster using this list as a reference when struggling with proofs and promise to print out the post if someone provides a link. The responder suggests a similar post that may be helpful.

I've spent a good part of the day looking for a post by one of the members which appeared 3 or 4 years ago and which was linked to every so often by other members. The list had about 10 items in it, one of which was the triangle inequality theorem. IIRC the poster said that he/ she referred to this list whenever having a hard time with a proof. If someone will post a link, I promise to print out the post! Thanx!

1. What is the purpose of proofing theorems and postulates?

The purpose of proofing theorems and postulates is to provide a rigorous and logical justification for mathematical statements. This helps to establish the validity of mathematical concepts and allows for further exploration and development of mathematical theories.

2. How can I find a previously posted list of proofing theorems and postulates?

One way to find a previously posted list of proofing theorems and postulates is to search through academic journals, online databases, or textbooks that specialize in the specific branch of mathematics you are interested in.

3. Are there any common techniques or strategies for proofing theorems and postulates?

Yes, there are several common techniques and strategies used in proofing theorems and postulates, such as direct proof, proof by contradiction, and proof by induction. These techniques involve using logical reasoning, deductive reasoning, and mathematical principles to demonstrate the truthfulness of a statement.

4. What are some of the challenges in proofing theorems and postulates?

One of the main challenges in proofing theorems and postulates is the need for precision and clarity. The slightest error or inconsistency in a proof can lead to incorrect conclusions. Additionally, some theorems and postulates may be more complex and require more advanced mathematical knowledge and reasoning skills to prove.
