Theorem
A result that has been proved to be true (using facts that were already known).

Example: The "Pythagoras Theorem" proved that for a right angled triangle a2 + b2 = c2

A Theorem is a major result (if it is just a minor result it is called a "Lemma")

Other examples:
* Intermediate Value Theorem
* Binomial Theorem
* Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic
* Fundamental Theorem of Algebra
Lots more!
