Theorem of the Day  

The Whole Jolly Lot (now enriched with)    

The list is presented here in reverse chronological order, so that new additions will appear at the top. This is not the order in which the theorem of the day is picked which is more designed to mix up the different areas of mathematics and the level of abstractness or technicality involved. The way that the list of theorems is indexed is described here.

Every theorem number is linked to its entry in the delightful 'Prime Curios!' compendium at The Prime Pages. For good measure I have highlighted primes in red. Click on any number and be beguiled (don't forget to look at the theorem too!)

Some of the theorem illustrations use Java applets or depend on colour for their effect. Alternatives are provided as indicated. Except for theorems with Java-based illustrations all files are pdf , mostly between 100 and 200 Kbytes in size.
