The Whole Jolly Lot

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.

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 pdf file icon, mostly between 100 and 200 Kbytes in size.
