Theorem Environments

May Mei, LATEXer Extrodinaire

October 11, 2006

By the way, the .tex source for this has a lot of comments, you should
check it out. It’s a good idea to create a template for all your LATEX documents
containing these theorem environments so you don’t have to redefine them every
time. Also, feel free to email latexhelp@lists.berkeley.edu if you have any
questions.
Definition 1. A theorem environment is defined by the user in the preamble.
They are used to set apart theorems, definitions, and the like in the body of
scholarly text.
Proposition 0.1. The order that you declare your theorem environments in
the preamble does not have to be the order in which they appear in the body of
your text.
Lemma 0.2 (Lemma Name). Note that even though lemma and proposition do
not have [section] after them, because we have them numbered like [theorem],
they will have section numbers like theorem does.
Theorem 0.3. Commands like \textrm will not override the italicization here,
you have to change the theoremstyle in the preamble.
Remark. Remember, you can have these environments print out anything you
want as the title,
May’s Theorem. May is awesome. So is LATEX.
Proof. This proof is trivial.
Theorem 0.4. This is another theorem, notice it did not count the remark and
May’s Theorem because they did not have a [theorem] counter.

1 My section wishes to remain nameless

Theorem 1.1. And if you begin another section, the first numeral in the num-
bering of theorem environments which are enumerated by section changes ac-
cordingly and second numeral starts over.
