It concerns the daughter of a recently-deceased professor of mathematics at the University of Chicago and her struggle with mathematical genius and mental illness. The daughter had cared for her father through a lengthy mental illness; upon his death, a paradigm-shifting proof was found in his office. The title refers both to that proof and to the play's central question: Can the daughter prove the proof's authorship? Along with proving the proof, the daughter also finds herself in a relationship with an ex student of her father, 28 year old Hal.

ProofThe word proof can mean: originally, a test assessing the validity or quality of something. a rigorous, compelling argument, including: a logical argument or a mathematical proof (see also proof theory). a legal proof. a large accumulation of scientific e Proofs of Fermat's little theoremThis is a collection of proofs of Fermat's little theorem: a p a ( mod p for every prime number p and every integer a''. Note that it is enough to prove a p − 1 1 (mod p for every integer a which is relatively prime to p (i. not a multiple of p . Proof of angular momentumA proof that torque is equal to the time- derivative of angular momentum can be stated as follows: The definition of angular momentum for a single particle is: where "×" indicates the vector cross product. The time-derivative of this is: d L ''dt r × d p Proof (play)Proof is a play by David Auburn which won the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 2001 Tony Award for Best Play. It concerns the daughter of a recently-deceased professor of mathematics at the University of Chicago and her struggle with mathematical gen Proof theoryLogic Proof theory Proof theory studied as a branch of mathematical logic, represents proofs as formal mathematical objects, facilitating their analysis by mathematical techniques. Proofs are typically presented as inductively-defined data structures, suc Proof of mathematical inductionThe principle of mathematical induction can be proved if the following axiom is assumed: :The set of all natural numbers is well-ordered (that is, every non-empty set of natural numbers has a least element). A simplified version is given here. This proof Proofreading Proof that the sum of the reciprocals of the primes diverges Proof of Bertrand's postulate Proof that e is irrational Proof by exhaustion Proof coinage Proof that holomorphic functions are analytic Proof of concept Proofs and Refutations
