"Rolle's theorem" meaning in All languages combined

See Rolle's theorem on Wiktionary

Proper name [English]

Etymology: Named after French mathematician Michel Rolle (1652–1719), although his 1691 proof covered only the case of polynomial functions and did not use the methods of differential calculus. Head templates: {{en-proper noun}} Rolle's theorem
  1. (calculus) The theorem that any real-valued differentiable function that attains equal values at two distinct points must have a point somewhere between them where the first derivative (the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the function) is zero. In mathematical terms, if f:ℝ→ℝ is differentiable on (a,b) and f(a)=f(b) then ∃c∈(a,b):f'(c)=0. Wikipedia link: Michel Rolle, Rolle's theorem Categories (topical): Calculus Translations (theorem that a differentiable function with points of equal value must have a point of zero slope between them): teorema di Rolle [masculine] (Italian), теоре́ма Ро́лля (teoréma Róllja) [feminine] (Russian)
