What is unreasonable mean in math?
It means the same in math as it means else where--it means not reasonable. If you show mathematical steps that are not reasonable to solve a math problem or show a math proof, then your math is unreasonable.
What does canonical mean in math?
It simply means accepted as true without the need for proof.
A word that means carefully and accurately expressed?
In math, a mathematical proof. In general, a precise answer.
What is a subsidiary math theorem?
A lemma, or a subsidiary math theorem, is a theorem that one proves as an interim stage in proving another theorem. Lemmas can be viewed as scaffolding for the proof. Usually, they are not that interesting in and of themselves, but there are exceptions. See the related link for examples of lemmas that are famous independently of the main theorems.
How did Pythagoras discover the Pythagorean theorem?
Pythagorus discovered the theorem a2 + b2 = c2 via a math proof, though this is historically unclear according to Roger Penrose's book The Road to Reality.
