A porism is a mathematical proposition or corollary. It has been used to refer to a direct consequence of a proof, analogous to how a corollary refers to a direct consequence of a theorem. In modern usage, it is a relationship that holds for an infinite range of values but only if a certain condition is assumed, such as Steiner's porism. [1]
Theorem 1: If a property is positive, then it is consistent, i.e., possibly exemplified Corollary 1: The property of being God-like is consistent Theorem 2: If something is God-like, then the property of being God-like is an essence of that thing Theorem 3: Necessarily, the property of being God-like is exemplified
Ptolemy's Theorem yields as a corollary a pretty theorem [2] regarding an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle. Given An equilateral triangle inscribed on a circle and a point on the circle. The distance from the point to the most distant vertex of the triangle is the sum of the distances from the point to the two nearer vertices.
In mathematics, a corollary is a theorem connected by a short proof to an existing theorem. The use of the term corollary , rather than proposition or theorem , is intrinsically subjective. More formally, proposition B is a corollary of proposition A , if B can be readily deduced from A or is self-evident from its proof.
Diagram of Stewart's theorem. Let a, b, c be the lengths of the sides of a triangle. Let d be the length of a cevian to the side of length a.If the cevian divides the side of length a into two segments of length m and n, with m adjacent to c and n adjacent to b, then Stewart's theorem states that + = (+).

Gregorio López Fuentes (17 November 1897 – 10 December 1976) was a Mexican writer known for his best work A Letter to God. He was one of the leading causes of the Mexican Revolution. In his youth he spent much time in his father’s general store, where he came in contact with the Indians, farmers, and labourers of the region, whose lives he ...
A corollary of the Mason–Stothers theorem is the analog of Fermat's Last Theorem for function fields: if a(t) n + b(t) n = c(t) n for a, b, c relatively prime polynomials over a field of characteristic not dividing n and n > 2 then either at least one of a, b, or c is 0 or they are all constant.
