This theorem relates the length of the sides of a right triangle to its hypotenuse.
Pythagorean Theorem
If 6x = 42 and xk = 2, this is the value of k.
k=2/7
Used to make everything from soups to salads to sauces, this red fruit is notable for its dual pronunciation.
Tomato
This Greek mathematician is often considered the greatest is ancient history. His accomplishments include approximating pi, the first usages of "center of gravity," as well as the creation of a spiral and a buoyancy law that now bear his name.
Archimedes
Introduction to Advanced Mathematics

This theorem states that every single-variable polynomial with complex coefficients has at least one complex root, or, equivalently, that the field of complex numbers is algebraically closed.
Fundamental Theorem of Algebra
Solve for x.
(2x+3)/4 = (x+7)/3
x = 19/2 = 9.5
This brown confectionery product is made by heating sugar, and is commonly paired with everything from apples to ice cream.
Caramel
This 19th century German mathematician and physicist is best known for the discovery of the method of least squares, a gravitational constant which now bears his name, and non-Euclidean geometry.

This colorful theorem relates a line integral around a simple closed curve to a double integral over the plane region bounded the curve.
Green's Theorem
Find x+y, if 5x+8y=67 and 2x-y=31.
x+y=14
y=-1
x=15
This spice, often used in desserts, gets its flavor from beans harvested from a genus of orchid.
Vanilla
This prolific 19th century French mathematician is best known for being the sole developer of complex analysis, and many of its most integral theorems are named after him.
Augustin-Louis Cauchy
Advanced Calculus of One Real Variable I
4700
This linear algebra "rule" is an explicit formula for the solution of a system of linear equations with as many equations as unknowns, valid whenever the system has a unique solution.
Cramer's Rule
Find the real root of x.
3x^3 + 4x^2 + 6x + 8 = 0
x=-4/3
These berries, produced by trees and bushes in the cypress family, are also used as the distinctive flavoring for Gin.
Juniper
This Ancient Greek mathematician, known for being the first person to accurately calculate the Earth's circumference and axial tilt, ended up becoming the chief librarian at the Library of Alexandria.
Eratosthenes
Advanced Multivariable Calculus
4900
This theorem, placed in the margins of one of its creator's works, took 358 years to finally be proven, and states that no positive integers a, b, and c satisfy the equation a^n + b^n = c^n when n>2 is an integer.
Fermat's Last Theorem
Find the non-zero values of x in terms of y.
(x^2+7x)/(y-5)=x(y-1)
y ≠ 5
x = y^2 - 6y - 2
