An engraved mathematical landscape follows one luminous path past prime-factor lattices, modular cycles, orthogonal geometry, a mean-value curve, a probability bell, a contraction spiral, a diagonal escape, and four square tiles.
A growing collection connects landmark results across arithmetic, algebra, geometry, analysis, probability, topology, and logic without implying dependencies between them. Illustrative map of the selected collection; it does not show theorem dependencies or proof evidence.
Detailed visual description

One luminous atlas path crosses a dark engraved landscape containing representative motifs from the expanding collection: unique factorization, modular reconstruction, orthogonal geometry, equal secant and tangent slopes, distributional convergence, contraction to a fixed point, diagonal non-surjectivity, and four-square representation.

Familiar starting points

Start with 8 theorems

These recognizable results offer routes into different parts of the collection. They are editorial starting points, not a ranking of importance or difficulty.

A smooth curve spans two endpoints above layered blue and green signed accumulation, ending at one vertical endpoint difference.

Analysis

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

Under differentiability and integrability hypotheses, the oriented interval integral of a derivative equals the endpoint difference.

Two perpendicular green and cobalt vectors share an origin, their ivory diagonal reaches the opposite corner, and green-edged, cobalt-edged, and gold-edged squares record the squared norms.

Geometry and linear algebra

Pythagorean Theorem

In a real inner-product space, the squared-norm identity for a vector sum holds exactly when the summands are orthogonal.

Several identically distributed green inputs pass through a cobalt normalized-sum chamber and converge toward one centered gold Gaussian bell.

Probability and analysis

Central Limit Theorem

Centered, unit-second-moment independent identically distributed real random variables have normalized sums converging in distribution to the standard Gaussian law.

An infinite field of coordinate spaces recedes into the distance, each with an enclosed compact region, while emerald and cobalt threads gather selected points into one compact constrained product.

Topology

Tychonoff's Theorem

An arbitrary product of compact subsets is compact in the product topology.

Abstract ivory-and-gold program codes and one fixed ivory input enter a cobalt classifier as terminating and open-ended trajectories fold back through a restrained red contradiction fracture.

Computability and logic

Undecidability of the Halting Problem

For every fixed input, Mathlib's predicate that an encoded program is defined on that input is not computable.

Emerald and cobalt residue circles exchange two gold arrows, with aligned and parity-reversed echoes below.

Number theory

Quadratic Reciprocity

For distinct odd primes, the two Legendre symbols are related by the quadratic-reciprocity sign.

Green and cobalt vectors share an origin while a shorter gold projection lies on the cobalt direction and a perpendicular drop records the controlled alignment.

Linear algebra and analysis

Cauchy–Schwarz Inequality

The norm of an inner product is at most the product of the two vector norms.

Mathlib supplies the theorems; ProofAtlas explains and rechecks them

Each page links to the exact upstream declaration and keeps the local Lean replay separate from the original theorem.

Audience

Who this collection is for

Mathematicians, students, formalizers, and curious readers who want a precise route from a familiar theorem to its exact Lean statement.
