What does the root word lemma mean?
According to the Oxford English dictionary, the origin of the word is ancient Greek, and there it meant "something received or taken; something taken for granted; an argument, title".

What is the difference between a theorem and postulate?
Postulates are assumed to be true and we need not prove them. They provide the starting point for the proof of a theorem. A theorem is a proposition that can be deduced from postulates. We make a series of logical arguments using these postulates to prove a theorem. For example, visualize two angles, two parallel lines and a single slanted line through the parallel lines. Angle one, on the top, above the first parallel line is an obtuse angle. Angle two below the second parallel line is acute. These two angles are called Exterior angles. They are proved and is therefore a theorem.

What is the sampling theorem?
Answer The most common sampling theorem is known from Harry Nyquist, 1889 -1976. It is the foundation of digital audio. In 1928, Nyquist wrote a paper called "Certain Factors in Telegraph Transmission Theory" where he proved that for complete signal reconstruction, the required frequency bandwidth is proportional to the signaling speed, and that the minimum bandwidth is equal to half the number of code elements per second.
Can a theorem be easily proved using corollary?
Yes, but only a corollary to another theorem that has been proved. A corollary follows from a theorem.

What is the difference between an axiom and a theorem?
