A Good Lemma Is Worth a Thousand Theorems (2007)
Mathematician Doron Zeilberger's 2007 opinion piece (Opinion 82) argues that lemmas are far more valuable than theorems in mathematics, serving as foundational tools that enable major breakthroughs—such as Szemeredi's Regularity Lemma, which contributed to at least two Fields Medals and the Green-Tao theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions. He also cites supporting quotes from other mathematicians and works like "Proofs from THE BOOK" to emphasize lemmas' broad applicability and enduring importance.
