Comment on A Good Lemma Is Worth a Thousand Theorems (2007)

Comments

Even more important than lemmas are observations, but that is another story.

In my book about abstraction logic (http://abstractionlogic.com) I have definitions, theorems, lemmas, and even observations :-) Just did a count of the frequency. Of course, not sure what those frequencies say about the relative importance.

Definitions 78

Theorems 20

Lemmas 76

Observations 41
