By definition, a theorem is a proven statement- until a proof is made for a statement, it is not a theorem but rather a conjecture. Whether you need to be able to reproduce the proof of a known theorem is another matter. If you trust the prover, I think you can make use of a theorem without knowing the proof. However, studying the proof can give you valuable insights into what the theorem really means and how it might be used. Also, reading proofs made by other people can help you prove you own theorems and write them up coherently.

How does Copernicus proved that sun was at the center?
He created a formula and mathematically proved his theory.
What are malkiel's theorems?
Malkiel's theorems summarize the relationship between bond prices, yields, coupons, and maturity. Malkiel's Theorems paraphrased (see text for exact wording); all theorems are ceteris paribus: · Bond prices move inversely with interest rates. · The longer the maturity of a bond, the more sensitive is its price to a change in interest rates. · The price sensitivity of any bond increases with its maturity, but the increase occurs at a decreasing rate. · The lower the coupon rate on a bond, the more sensitive is its price to a change in interest rates. · For a given bond, the volatility of a bond is not symmetrical, i.e., a decrease in interest rates raises bond prices more than a corresponding increase in interest rates lower prices.
What is an axiomatic system in mathematics?
An axiomatic system in mathematics is a system of axioms that can be used together to derive a theorem. Axiomatic systems help prove theorems in mathematics.
Is theorems a form of valid evidence in deductive reasoning?
Yes, theorems - once they have been proved - are valid evidence.
What statement applies to theorems?
Must Be Proved Before They Can Be Accepted As True
What statements best describes theorems?
They are propositions that have been proved to be true.
In a geometric proof what can be used to explain a statement?
Axioms and logic (and previously proved theorems).
What is demonstrative geometry?
a branch of mathematics in which theorems on geometry are proved through logical reasoning
What is a statement that can be proved by a chain of reasoning?
A theorem is a statement that has been proven by other theorems or axioms.
What are the postulates and theorems?
Postulates are statements that are assumed to be true without proof. Theorums are statements that can be deduced and proved from definitions, postulates, and previously proved theorums.
What would best describe how postulates differ from theorems?
Postulates are accepted as true without proof, and theorems have been proved true. Kudos on the correct spelling/punctuation/grammar, by the way.
What does theorem mean in geometry?
A theorem is a statement or proposition which is not self-evident but which can be proved starting from basic axioms using a chain of reasoned argument (and previously proved theorems).
What is the definition of theorem?
Theorems are important statements that are proved.
Can postulates be used to solve theorems?
No. A postulate need not be true.
What are the world's unsolvable math problems?
There are whole classes of theorems that can be proved to be unable to be proved "True" or "False" . I know it sounds like gibberish but think of the sentence"This statemant is False." . Have a search for "Kurt Godel".Hope this helps.
