a rough count.

i don't know how my committee will do it.

today i started reading/editing the latest version of my thesis again, and by chapter 3 (of 8) i was ready to put it down.

so yes: i even bored myself!

as an idle curiosity (and an excuse so that i could flip the thesis pages rapidly), i was curious as to how many of each construct i had. here is the count, for now.

lemmas: 30, at least 8 of which are not mine;
theorems: 30, at least 14.5 of which are not mine;
corollaries: 14
propositions: 3, at least 2 of which are not mine;

conjectures: 1, which is clearly not mine;

definitions: 15
remarks: 18
examples: 8
figures: 0, though they would make it easier for readers.

when i say that a result is not mine, then either it has been fully proven by someone else, or it is folklore. so perhaps i should have said "partially mine" for the rest of them!

also, i didn't bother with figuring out who owns a definition, and i forgot to count "claims" (which i put in the body of proofs, in order to make them more readable).

curiously enough, there are no official "definitions" in chapters I and II. granted, chapter I is the introduction, but still ..
