My favorite theorem is the "Party Hat" Theorem, taught to me by one of my favorite math teachers. It's a simple geometric theory that says two line segments tangent to a circle meeting at a point outside the circle are of equal length. I don't particularly like it so much for it's usefulness, more because it was taught in a very "interesting" fashion. | My favorite theorem is the "Party Hat" Theorem, taught to me by one of my favorite math teachers.

My favorite theorem is the "Party Hat" Theorem, taught to me by one of my favorite math teachers. It's a simple geometric theory that says two line segments tangent to a circle meeting at a point outside the circle are of equal length. I don't particularly like it so much for it's usefulness, more because it was taught in a very "interesting" fashion.
