axiom - something we assume is true
lemma - something we have proven, usually something used to prove something bigger
theorem - something we have proven

what topic should I learn to know which is theorem, lemma, and the other terms which I don't know? And what keyword should I put in the search engine to know the other terminology like theorem, lemma, etc.?

#

sorry i ask a lot

#

The difference between theorem and lemma is pretty arbitrary

#

It just depends on how the author feels

#

To search for terminology just write "<word> definition math"

#

i mean i don't know the word so ...

#

it's not i don't know the definition of the word, but rather i don't know the word itself, so i try to search the topic which discuss these terminologies

#

so i know the other terminologies
